2041. PATERSON

PATERSON
That's a very beautiful picture you made -
a certain somber, deep and dark, earthy red
color for all those mill and factory bricks. The
workplant with its wheel, where the water
would rise and fall : those patterns. You've
captured it all. The dazzle of that old, ripply
glass - gosh, how it must have dappled with
a lovely light those workmens' places. And that
tall, dark roof with that creamy grey sky -
Oh! How wonderful indeed. What you've
shown me of it, we can only talk in a
very, respectful silence.
