Het werkje dat ik hier begonnen ben, blijkt, al is het slechts 10,5 cm x 10,5 cm, het gehele landschap te bevatten, zoals ik dat vanuit mijn atelierraam zie, als ik uitkijk over de groene weiden, de bomen, de IJssel...
Alles zit erin, zie ik nu:
het zoemen van de insecten,
het piepen van de jonge ooievaars rond middernacht,
het ruisen van de wind in de boomtoppen,
de hemel, weerspiegeld in het water,
de vleugels van de libelle,
de koelte van de vroege ochtendnevel,
het hart dat geboren wordt,
het avondlicht dat al terugtrekkend de wereld kleurt.

Selfie met pet, koeienvlaai en afhangende bretels,
looking for Mr. Darcy.


  In Meryton they parted; the two youngest repaired to the lodgings of one of the officers' wives, and Elizabeth continued her walk alone, crossing field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last within view of the house, with weary ankles, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise.

   She was shewn into the breakfast-parlour, where all but Jane were assembled, and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise. That she should have walked three miles so early in the day, in such dirty weather, and by herself, was almost incredible to Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt for it. She was received, however, very politely by them; and in their brother's manners there was something better than politeness; there was good-humour and kindness. Mr. Darcy said very little, and Mr. Hurst nothing at all. The former was divided between admiration of the brilliancy which exercise had given to her complexion, and doubt as to the occasion's justifying her coming so far alone. The latter was thinking only of his breakfast.

Waar is dan dat atelier?
Precies in het midden, daar waar de zon de aarde kust.

De reis aanvaarden wil zeggen aanvaarden dat je niet weet hoe, wat en waarheen.

In the end, though, we can no more force our hearts than we can make a dog recite Shakespeare.
Well, yes, with a considerable amount of violence we can make a dog recite Shakespeare, and, consequently, with substantial damage to the dog.
