Comical Venetian sea-creature,
Like the city - old, damaged, imperfect
But scattered through with gold-dust,
Glinting in the sunlight,
Beautiful in imperfection.

A very apt description. I have long thought of Venice that way, as she slowly sinks into the lagoon, as acidic air erases the details of carved stone, as people and centuries take their toll, but cannot completely erase the beauty which will endure.
