“Among the flasks and vases – Song to Ming dynasties – the stillest of still things: five “plain domestic bowls from circa 1300”.
Who knows why they’re here. For contrast simply – drab against the blue, the dragons? Or maybe this was kindness, saving them from work.
All we know is this: this is no life for them. How could it be without the one life-giving thing – the possibility of breaking?"
