‘Enigma’ uit ‘Omtrent Vincent’ (vertaald door John Irons):
Search for the poetry of the everlasting CONCERNING VINCENT.
His Youth and emergence as an artist:
Enigma
Wat possessed him
while Eva put down her
knitting, rolled the ball
of wool next to the basket
took her feet off the
foot-rest, raised herself
from the chair and left?
Wat possessed Van Gogh
to draw her out
of the Garden of Etten?
