In Atavistic Vestiges after the Rain a huge, soft white mass with a hole rises in the middle of a brown plain, like a worn bone or rock, propped up by a thin crutch; beneath it a man and a small boy stand hand in hand, and behind them are dark cypresses and low hills under a blue sky with white clouds after the rain.
