| Back | It would make the reader pity me, or rather laugh at me, to tell how many awkward ways I took to raise this paste; what odd, misshapen, ugly things I made; how many of them fell in and how many fell out, the clay not being stiff enough to bear its own weight; how many cracked by the over-violent heat of the sun, being set out too hastily; and how many fell in pieces with only removing, as well before as after they were dried; and, in a word, how, after having laboured hard to find the clay—to dig it, to temper it, to bring it home, and work it—I could not make above two large earthen ugly things (I cannot call them jars) in about two months’ labour. |

| Front | Algunos se quebraban al ser expuestos precipitadamente al excesivo calor del sol, otros se rompían en pedazos cuando los movía, tanto cuando estaban secos como cuando aún estaban húmedos. En pocas palabras, después de un arduo esfuerzo por conseguir el barro, de extraerlo, amasarlo, transportarlo y moldearlo, en dos meses no pude hacer más que dos cosas grandes y feas, que no me atrevería a llamar tarros. |
