"The little lake was infinitely dear to me: its reeds and rushes, its fish, ducks and grebes. And I loved the boats lying in the channels, and the haystacks alongside them, and the bow nets tied to their poles put up to dry. [..] I drew everything. [..] When the lake was quiet on mild days, it was stunningly beautiful. " Emil Nolde, in: Emil Nolde, Jahre der Kämpfe (1902-1914), Cologne 2002, p. 26.
