Word of the Day for Sunday, June 7, 2009oneiric \oh-NY-rik\, adjective: Of, pertaining to, or suggestive of dreams; dreamy. On this score, the novel might easily drift off into an oneiric never-never land, but Mr. Welch doesn't let this happen. Her large images, which are cloaked in an elegant oneiric mist, transport the viewer to an ideal world where bodies seem to have become weightless ghosts of themselves. Some -- not all -- of Caravaggio's painting uniquely compels you to grope for words in order to describe the optical novelty and disturbing immediacy of the images. They're at once coldly precise, voluptuously real and strangely oneiric. Oneiric comes from Greek oneiros, "dream." | |||||||||
