The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
Among the seascapes, I am doing the regattas of Le Havre with many figures on the beach and the outer harbor covered with small sails.
The effect of sailing is produced by a judicious arrangement of the sails to the direction of the wind.
