Landscape With The Fall of Icarus

Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus by William Carlos Williams

I like how Williams trivializes Icarus's flight in this landscape. There are no crowds watching him, nobody to weep when he falls. It is just a beautiful spring day, and a man whose reach exceeded his grasp died because he did not know his own limits.
