    Karel van de Woestijne

    Side by side

    Oh my black sea ...

    Oh my black sea, it seems that I must relish you
    as ravening hunger bread that’s dense and dark.
    © Translation: 2007, Tanis Guest

    Mijn zwarte zee, ’t is of ’k u moet genieten

    Mijn zwarte zee, ’t is of ’k u moet genieten
    als wilde honger dik en donker brood.
