“A great golden cloth has fallen from the sky onto the water, and the sea carries it without tearing it. On the edge of the boat a woman sits, her dress the colour of the sail, looking at something we will never see. The sail is yellow, the boom red, both of them almost too much, as if they alone wanted to reassure the whole scene. The wind has taken its leave; nothing moves any more. She is at the edge of the world and has forgotten what she came looking for. What holds us here is not the boat, nor even the sunset. It is the posture we take when we stop wanting something, and are content simply to be there, at rest.”
