The correction of maths

I was on my way, I thought, so.

I was in his way, to be supposed,

not regarded as.

Under and within the small tunnel,

between Berkel-Enschot and Tilburg,

16 or 17 years old.

The pair of trousers has become a dress.

I made a mistake.

I cannot rhyme, that the number three

and one, make five, together.

I would rather think, that two and three

come all together as one.

Prince Andrew has moved, here, years ago,

after losing his teeth.

The dog sounds different, these days,

not differently, I say.

I look, at my view, from upstairs, again.

The green fields are now, silver.

I would do that. 

I could change the world, I understood.

She loved me all the way.

Voor Kate, die kan zien in het donker

Hoofdstuk 37, pagina 320,

“Als hij alleen achterbleef, was immers alleen Croziers lichaam

nog over? De man die meer dan wie ook als een vader voor hem

was geweest.

‘Gus,’ zei Crozier. ‘Luister goed naar me. Het beenmerg…’

‘Nee, meneer. Nee…’

‘Het beenmerg is het voedzaamst, Gus. Onthou dat goed.

Je moet vooral het beenmerg nemen.’

Gus bedekte zijn gezicht met zijn handen en huilde wanhopig.

Ternauwernood voelde hij Croziers hand op zijn schouder.”
