A sunset over the ocean takes on a weird quality when small circles cut from the larger image that was used to make the background are glued on top of it. The circles appear as though they could be celestial bodies or magnified details of the background, depending on how your brain interprets the juxtaposition.

A verse from Richard Hughes' poem "Ecstatic Ode on Vision" is placed in the top third of the canvas: "I saw the World's arches, / The spreading roots of light, / The high wordy pillars / That hold all upright, / The deep verbal fundament / Whereon rests sure / The world on thoughtful vaulting, / Interlocked, secure."

The photograph shows a piece of index card art which is set at an angle. On the index card, clouds are sketched using white, silver, grey, and blue. Two of the clouds resemble hooded human heads; large blue rain drops fall from the clouds, including appearing to fall from the eyes of the depicted faces in the clouds; a string of blue beads, one of which looks like a raindrop, cascades down the right-hand side. The text of a couplet from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Midnight Mass for the Dying Year" is pasted in the bottom left corner: "The hooded clouds, like friars, / Tell their beads in drops of rain."
