Story Three Hundred and Nine · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Wild Goose

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on an early-morning dirt lane outside a thatched riverside cottage, a lean bearded bird-catcher in a headcloth, rolled-up sleeves and straw sandals holds a bound wild goose against his chest and unties the cord at its feet, looking down at its mate, a gander that stands with bowed head beside a small bar of gold, with a bird net and bamboo cage by the wattle fence, a willow and reeds, and a river with a small sail behind.
