“And across the water, you would swear you could sniff it all; the cinnamon and the cloves, the frankincense and the honey and the licorice, the nutmeg and citrons, the myrrh and the rosewater from Persia in keg upon keg. You would think you could glimpse, heaped and glimmering, the sapphires and the emeralds and the gauzes woven with gold, the ostrich feathers and the elephant tusks, the gums and the ginger and the coral buttons mynheer Goswin the clerk of the Hanse might be wearing on his jacket next week. . . .

“Previously young people had been expected to learn. Because they didn't want to appear to be ignoramuses, they worked hard willy nilly. But now all they have to say is: Everything in the world's nonsense! and that's that. Young people are delighted.
