Digital photograph.

My father often used to say to me: "Look at those clouds, can you see as I can, the changing shapes in them?" And then he would show me strange beings, fantastic and marvelous visions, in the changing sky. . . He appeared to me an imperious being, independent, even hard, before whom I always trembled. Although today, at a long and confused distance, and of all that remains of him in my eyes, I see in the depths of his own, which easily moistened with tears, a merciful and sweet sensitivity that his outer harshness could scarcely conceal.
