“When I chisel at a wheel, if I go slow, the chisel
slides and does not stay put; if I hurry, it jams and
doesn’t move properly. When it is neither too slow or
too fast, I can feel it in my hand and respond to it
from my heart. My mouth cannot describe it in words,
but there is something there. I cannot teach it to my
son, and my son cannot learn it from me. So, I have
gone on for seventy years, growing old chiselling
wheels. The men of old died in possession of what
they could not transmit. So, it follows that what you
are reading are their dregs.”
