" Wie in de zaal het hoofd draaide -
en dromend keek -
naar haar zwarte schaduw op een paarse
muur
kreeg haar muziek nog directer binnen
in hun rechteroor een viool vol tranen"
- Poet De Romein -
Written during the New Year celebration of the city of Utrecht in 2012
* English translation:
Those in the hall who turned their heads -
stearing dreamily -
at the black shadow on the purple wall
engulfed her music even more directly
in their right ear, a violin filled with tears"
