I'm doing a series of microfictions called "storypix": very short stories prompted by photos I've taken. Nearly all my storypix end in three-dot ellipses; I like to imagine them as invitations to readers to continue each story a little bit further in their imaginations. Your wonderful analysis of the difference between the two artists' turbans has me regarding Vermeer's as painted with ellipses. 👍
What an awesome idea! I appreciate that you've shared it here. This got me thinking about the sort of books and poetry that I go back to again and again (fiction, that is). Lately - but not always - it's to see "what I missed" because I enjoyed the story so very much. And it gives me an opportunity to live with the characters again. It's kind of a way to prolong the ellipses because it keeps them front and center in my mind.
