Rameau and coffee


  The extraordinary dialogue
  between a morning in Spring
  and the ruminations of Jean-
  Philippe Rameau at his key-
  board: which came first, we
  aren't the first to wonder.

  Coffee, on the other hand,
  is more challenging. It in-
  sinuates, it transforms at-
  tention. Fragonard's silent
  pet.
