One of my favourite Peanuts cartoons features Linus and Charlie Brown, lying on their backs, gazing up at the passing clouds. When Charlie asks Linus if he can see any shapes in them, Linus replies that he’s just spotted the outline of British Honduras, the profile of the painter Thomas Eakins, and a remarkably detailed tableau of the stoning of St Stephen: ‘there’s the Apostle Paul standing to one side. What about you, Charlie Brown?’:
‘I was just going to say I saw a ducky and a horsey, but I just changed my mind’.
Clouds have been objects of delight and fascination throughout history, their fleeting magnificence and endless variability providing food for thought for scientists and daydreamers alike.
