Bert Bevers: Houvast

 

Houvast

Kennen wij niets meer dan nagebootste
gebarentaal? Soms, soms is de waarheid
moeilijk. Bij een vraag als Spant de boog
de pees, of kromt de pees de boog? is ons

de grens van wetten te vaag. Er is geen
weerstand zonder tekenen aan de wand.
Van verbeelding geven zij misleidende
straling af, als fosforstronken in het woud.

Houvast: de cartografie van het geheugen,
het register van de weemoed. En natuurlijk,
sterk en zacht als gepolijst olijvenhout,
de eeuwigheid. Die eeuwigheid. ‘O’ zegt

de een er voor, en ‘Ach’ de ander….

Bert Bevers
Houvast

Summer by Christina Georgina Rossetti

Summer

Winter is cold-hearted
Spring is yea and nay,
Autumn is a weather-cock
Blown every way:
Summer days for me
When every leaf is on its tree;

When Robin’s not a beggar,
And Jenny Wren’s a bride,
And larks hang singing, singing, singing,
Over the wheat-fields wide,
And anchored lilies ride,
And the pendulum spider
Swings from side to side,

And blue-black beetles transact business,
And gnats fly in a host,
And furry caterpillars hasten
That no time be lost,
And moths grow fat and thrive,
And ladybirds arrive.

Before green apples blush,
Before green nuts embrown,
Why, one day in the country
Is worth a month in town;
Is worth a day and a year
Of the dusty, musty, lag-last fashion
That days drone elsewhere.

Christina Georgina Rossetti
(1830 – 1894)

Bert Bevers: Winters erfrecht

 

Winters erfrecht

Gesloten luiken, gezegende ogen.
Het mededogen van sneeuw
verrast zelfs kinderen.

Er gaat geen eeuw voorbij
als er niets gebeurt.

Geheugen van geuren
is legendarisch.

Written at Midnight by Samuel Rogers

Written at Midnight

While thro’ the broken pane the tempest sighs,
And my step falters on the faithless floor,
Shades of departed joys around me rise,
With many a face that smiles on me no more;
With many a voice that thrills of transport gave,
Now silent as the grass that tufts their grave!

Samuel Rogers
(1763 – 1855)
Written at Midnight, 1786
