Gladius Dei
Thomas Mann · 1902
Munich is shining under a silk-blue June sky, and the crowd outside Blüthenzweig’s art shop keeps drifting back to a photograph in the window: a Madonna with bare shoulders and a heavy, sensual gaze, painted, the gossip goes, from the artist’s sweetheart, a little milliner.
