Neptune's Brides

Roland Hinton Perry’s “Court of Neptune” has the god of the oceans flanked by female Tritons bearing conch shells that, mythology holds. would be loudly blown at the command of Neptune to either stir up or calm the seas.  Wordsworth’s sonnet “The World is Too Much With Us” bemoans the rote dullness of living a practical life and instead pines for:

glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathèd horn.

K Street in Washington DC is famous for lawyers and lobbyists but at its eastern end it tapers off into a bike trail along old railroad tracks and the remnants of a bridge that looks down upon the Potomac Boat Club.
