Summary

What Monet saw he gave to the world. He saw the infinite beauty of the most ordinary of things--a water lily pond. He saw the dynamism and variability in objects that many of us would regard as generic: lilies and water. But Monet saw that each lily in each season at each time of day was an irrepeatable astonishment... What Monet saw when he gazed on his water lilies, God must see when beholding creation. Irrepeatable astonishment. Infinity coded in a single leaf. Eternity uttered in the late hour of a summer's afternoon. Beloved. Book jacket.
