> Elgin Marbles......taken from Athens to England in 1806 . . .

In time for Keats to describe one of the Greek pieces a "bride of quietness,
. . foster child of silence and slow time".  Not a bad description of a
compelling photo that freezes the moment and keeps it fresh to "tease us out
of thought" . . . until it too leaves us.
