Mount

One hundred thirty-five steps of travertine between the Piazza di Spagna and the church of Trinità dei Monti. A French diplomat left the money. A Roman architect, Francesco de Sanctis, drew the curves that make the climb feel like a wave breaking uphill. In April the city brings hundreds of azaleas and arranges them down the landings, pink against the pale stone. The crowd gathers from late morning on; before eight the steps are nearly empty, and the light slides down from the church the way water would. John Keats died in the small house at the right of the bottom step, in 1821. The building still has his window.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
