‘If painting is another name for feeling, and the sky an organ of sentiment, then his [Constable’s] cloud sketches are less a notation of changing weather effects than a series of Romantic lyrics: exhalations and exclamations, meditations and reflections, attached to a specific location and moment in time.’ Mary Jacobus, Romantic Things: A Tree, a Rock, a Cloud, U of Chicago P, 2012.
