Cooling off, Fredericus Witte wrote a reasoned letter of protest. "I consider it very disturbing," he began, and at that point the Inspector of Direct Taxation, First Section, must have decided to read the sentence again: "I consider it very disturbing if I am not required to pay more. If I pay too little, somebody else suffers for it. That's dishonest." According to Witte's calculations, the tax collector had listed Witte's total income 247 guilders ($64.96) less than it should be, thereby reducing Witte's tax by 42 guilders ($11.05).

They are all, in every sense, fundamental: in the direct mysticism of their spiritual vision, in their equally mystical approach to nature, in the intuitive spontaneity of their form. Their religion and their form are one. They make aesthetic theory superfluous, and their natural intimacy with the forces of life make our fiddling with eroticism in art trivial. In short, the works leave one with the question, What might sophistication be if this is primitive...
