One warm point is enough
A single gas-lamp dot gives the whole field its distance.
One chord, one spark
A chapter on restraint: the room holds because almost everything is withheld, and the smallest signal is allowed to carry the scene.
Silhouette matters more than outline
The bridge arrives as a dark interruption, not a drawn object.
Mist links every register
Foreground and sky drift into one measured tonal band.
A spark can stay distant
The eye reads the scene from the smallest signal outward.
