I'd forgotten

[rinue]

When I stepped out of school today, it was like walking into an album cover. The air was so clear that everything I looked at seemed close by. The sun was hidden and the wet pavement reflected eggshell blue; it looked less like reflection than like pieces of the sky had dripped. I looked around and felt hungry, starving, helpless. I walked as fast as I could, ran almost, in no particular direction, just trying to push as much as I could into my eyes before I lost the light. Greens turned silver; whites looked like clotted cream and grays like fresh washed linen. When I stopped with the Savoy on my right and the Thames on my left, the streetlights came up and the rain came down. Who knew this was how the world looked in November.

I love the green there. It's so gray and rainy, but when it's green... it's so outrageously green that it hurts.
