Theodore Wendel, Bridge at Ipswich (c. 1905, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston)
-
«(…) Peter has larned the difficult animal skill of doing nothing. He’s learned to unshackle himself from the race of time and contemplate time itself. As far as he can tell, that’s what Odo spends most of his time doing: being in time, like one sits by a river, watching the water go by. It’s a lesson hard learned, just to sit there and be. At first he yearned for distractions. He would absent himself in memories (…). But he’s getting better at being in a state of illuminated, sitting-by-a-river repose (…)».
