The whitest author


He said one word.

I was doubting, but

I was in the need of his approval.


History was never taught

in a lost, lousy and faithful manner …


He told me about the old writers

and their way of thinking.

They used to be dressed by black,

as an answer.

That’s what he showed, me.


The authors did not give attention

to an audience, what only reads

in a memorable time.


In those days, in those times

I bowed for a new profession.

I became his student, while

the master got faster, away.

Hoofdstuk 62, pagina 336 – 337

“Maar niemand keek naar het land dat van hen zou worden

en Jafeth kreeg geen antwoord toen hij zei dat hij bij zonsopgang

vogelgezang had gehoord.

Het duurde tot de middag voor de duif waar Noach op gewacht had

terugkwam met een groene tak in zijn snavel. Het was een olijftak

en Naema werd warm van blijdschap. De oeroude boom groeide hier

en minstens een ervan had het overleefd.”

The Religion of The Blue Circle

Petra Hermans
Let's talk about life.
Let's talk about love.
Let's write about religion.
And keep quiet in silent silence.
