Magie 1 concerns a second aspect of our program WAANZIN (Madness): magic, crazyness, hallucination. I have been looking for poems that represent this magic, and found the poem “Nocturne” of the Dutch poet Ingmar Heytze.
De sterren zijn met veel vanavond Grote ogen in de nacht Een meisje zwiert haar rok tot bloemen Op een dansfeest aan de gracht
You cannot really translate this, but I’ll try.
The stars speak for many, this evening Great Eyes in the night A girl dances her skirt into flowers On a ball by the waterside
We also go to some heavier, violent stuff: Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. A 14e century Italian poem that describes a journey through hell. And, what the devil looks like.
S’ el fu sì bel com’ elli è ora brutto, e contra ‘l suo fattore alzò le ciglia, ben dee da lui procedere ogne lutto.
