Original Narrative:
THE COLLISION : It has so happened that Mesdag, having worked in that
temper, has also attained that other kind of success which the world
recognises, and we are glad of it; but if he had remained obscure he
would still have been the same genuine artist that he is to - day. His
way of seeing nature is a painter's way rather than that of a
draughtsman, whence it is not unlikely that some readers, accustomed to
the more precise draughtsmanship of engravers, may undervalue such a
fine sketch as The Collision, in which the spirit of the incident alone
is given, whilst not one of the forms is made out.
