Porcelain Vase
December 3rd, 2009
How to understand this English sentence?
The cunning arrangement of bright yellow porcelain vases and darkly rain-swept watercolors was right in a way he couldn’t have achieved.
Does “darkly rain-swept watercolors ” means “watercolors which depicts the darkly rain-swept picture” or, does it mean “watercolors which itself looks like the darkly swept rain “?
Does this sentence mean “In a way, he is not good at arranging “bright yellow porcelain vases and darkly rain-swept watercolors”
Thank you very much
I think it’s a pretentious sentence, and it could be interpreted different ways. But I think it’s saying that the final arrangement of colors was good, too good to think it was intentional. It was too perfect to be deliberate.
The other descriptors—”darkly rain-swept watercolors”—are just that, descriptors. They don’t have a good or bad quality until the author tells us they are “right.”
