Hans Faverey

Only when all has been ordered

Only when all has been ordered
and 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.
Close

Only when all has been ordered

Only when all has been ordered
and 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.

Only when all has been ordered

Only when all has been ordered
and 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.
