As usual, our dear JM has left out a bit of connective tissue that keeps her reference to "la Golconda" from being the complete non-sequiter it appears to be. The name of the Magritte painting is in fact LA GOLCONDA (don't ask me why). Actually when I found an enormous jpeg on the web I saw quite clearly that the hatted "raining" men are NOT caring umbrellas. Tant pis (more's the pity)!
