These landscapes of water and reflections have become an obsession. It’s quite beyond my powers at my age, and yet I want to succeed in expressing what I feel.

Not to spill its lakes and rivers,
The water is held in its arms
And the sky is held in the water.

That pours silver,
And can hold the sky?

Tomorrow I too will float away.
My reflection gone from cool streams.
Cheng Man-ch’ing

Arthur Golden
