Detail of Shitao, Ten Thousand Ugly Inkblots, 1685, handscroll, ink on paper.
Ten thousand ugly inkblots to scare Crazy Mi
[Mi Fu, 1052–1107] to death!
Some fibers of soft traces to make Beiyuan
[Dong Yuan, d. 962] roll over laughing!
From a distance, the perspective doesn’t work – it
lacks a painting’s winding paths.
Close up, the details are all confused – you can
barely make out a few simple cottages.
Once and for all cut off the ‘mind’s eye’ from
conventional molds,
Just as the transcendent who rides the wind has freed
his spirit from the bounds of flesh and bones!31
