They seem larger than the humans in the painting. Could they be demons? And to the right of the church is another large flying humanoid carrying a ladder, with six smaller flying followers (imps?). None of them appears to me to be falling.<br /><br />I looked for a crashed Icarus, but couldn't see one. Maybe I missed him?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456987412710878404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8304928500646903522.post-15955647666061789072019-06-02T02:29:18.302-04:002019-06-02T02:29:18.302-04:00Dreaming of flying is one thing, and a very common...Dreaming of flying is one thing, and a very common thing at that.<br /><br />Dreaming of not just flying, but of going "too high" and falling to your death as a sort of cosmic punishment for supposed hubris is another thing entirely, and I hope that's not the sort of dreams you're having, because that sounds more like nightmares.G.
