From 14 August 2006. Gray morning, touch of fall. A Nederlands tjalk--shallow draft, inland seas... Pulled up on the flats at Volendaam, early autumn, misty light...all the colors ochre and brown...even the air a neutral shade, as if moderation were all... A world of social relations--the give and take of daily life...cargoes and trade, needed things--hemp, flax, bolts of cloth--barley, millet, rye...carried on quiet waters...maybe a song....
T'ao Chien would have known as well...
