Like all good etchers Artist Young was able to make pleasing esthetic capital of his bare, black trees, winterset in the tranquil snowscapes.

The tenth "march of Time" vital...
...made up of two souls: "Yang" a "good soul"; "Vin" the soul of darkness and evil. No harm comes to a good man; that's the way the universe is constituted. With this belief and the worship for the dead the Chinese manage to live a life tranquil and indifferent to the "ways of the world". Strength of character more than strength of mind; knowledge is important as it affects the character of the knower. And that pithy bit, gentle readers, delights the Vagabond...
