Abstract
Abstract:
Disturbed by inferences in Caravaggio's Boy with a Basket of Fruit, the narrator examines the details of the painting, which, despite the solicitation construed as its subject, suggest the artist's understanding that pleasure beguiles, that it is temporal and consequential. The poem laments this knowing. (Kathleen Hellen's "[The immortality of certain fruit]").
