Vermeer Stephen Mitchell Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae Luke 1:48 She stands by the table, poised at the center of your vision, with her left hand just barely on the pitcher's handle, and her right lightly touching the windowframe. Serene as a clear sky, luminous in her blue dress and many-toned white cotton wimple, she is looking nowhere. Upon her lips is the subtlest and most lovely of smiles, caught for an instant like a snowflake in a warm hand. How weightless her body feels as she stands, absorbed, within this fulfillment that has brought more than any harbinger could. She looks down with an infinite tenderness in her eyes, as though the light at the window were a newborn child and her arms open enough to hold it on her breast forever. ccsf.caltech.edu Young Woman with a Water Jug Johannes Vermeer, Dutch, 1632-1675 Oil on canvas
