French Amber

by Levi Brekke ’22

Cobblestone streets and aged awnings reflect a golden hue imposed by a gentle lamp. Cafe Terrace proposes a serene ambiance of tranquility and silent discussion.

The embodiment of the cafe suggests a Tender sip of coffee piercing the lips. Chairs And tables left unattended, begging occupation. They sing to onlookers, tempting their ears.

The warmth of the cafe breeds perpetual Comfort, hypnotizing those into never Departing. For beyond the security of the terrace Is solitude contributing to inopportune reflection.

The deep blue night is incessant and captivating, Devouring the sleepy landscape in all its glory. The stars radiate an incandescent white glow, Pale to the amber sheen of Cafe Terrace at Night.

- Vincent Van Gogh’s Cafe Terrace at Night (1888)
