To celebrate the recent Monet exhibition at the Saint Louis Art Museum, we provide a link to "Monet refuses the operation", a poem by Lisel Mueller, a Pulitzer-prize winning poet from Illinois (click on the painting). In the poem, Monet weighs the merits of undergoing a cataract operation to restore his sight. For a scientific discussion of the likely impact of cataract on Monet's vision and his art see this article by Michael Marmor.
