Midian Art Gallery

The gallery in Midian asks twenty-five gold at the door, and its curator complains without cease of the papers on his desk, for his work is the pricing of all art. Nothing else about it is ordinary. The paintings on its north wall can be walked into.

Those who have come out again tell of a room under smoke where five dogs play poker and the dachshund is losing; of a blue painting that is all sky and sea, where sadness gathers into a shape and has a name; and of old King Welmar, who is so large within his frame that one arrives first at his left foot. Some of what lives in the paintings is mild. Some of it has kept the gallery's best customers.
