Vermeer

Lying here unable to sleep as usual. I have depression you se and sometimes it makes things move that really ought to be still and sometimes there are things that aren't there at all. Have you ever had the feeling there's someone under the bed? Could you sleep? No? My mind turns to two paintings by Vermeer (painted the Girl in the Pearl Earring). I'm thinking of the Geographer and the Astronomer. They remind me of the Iron Maiden album Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Or maybe it's just my state of mind. I'm sure it'll be different at dawn,,,
