Poem
Hans Faverey
Only when all has been ordered
Only when all has been orderedand every thing has taken place
does chaos come to light.
A wind blows up which rises
to a storm and is mentioned nowhere
in the books now closing,
almost oysters.

Eerst als alles is gerangschikt
Eerst als alles is gerangschikt
en alle dingen hebben plaatsgevonden
treedt wanorde aan het licht
Er steekt een wind op die zich verheft
tot storm en nergens staat beschreven
in de boeken die zich nu sluiten,
haast oesters.
en alle dingen hebben plaatsgevonden
treedt wanorde aan het licht
Er steekt een wind op die zich verheft
tot storm en nergens staat beschreven
in de boeken die zich nu sluiten,
haast oesters.
