<p><span style="font-size: x-large; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Johann Wolfgang von Goethe</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">(1749-1832)</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Natur und Kunst</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Natur und Kunst, sie scheinen sich zu fliehen,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Und haben sich, eh&#8217; man es denkt, gefunden;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Der Widerwille ist auch mir verschwunden,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Und beide scheinen gleich mich anzuziehen.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Es gilt wohl nur ein redliches Bemühen!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Und wenn wir erst in abgemeßnen Stunden;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mit Geist und Fleiß uns an die Kunst gebunden,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mag frei Natur im Herzen wieder glühen.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So ist&#8217;s mit aller Bildung auch beschaffen:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Vergebens werden ungebundne Geister</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Nach der Vollendung reiner Höhe streben.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wer Großes will, muß sich zusammenraffen:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Und das Gesetz nur kann uns Freiheit geben.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">‘Spirits of Internationalism’ is an interesting co-operation between 6 European museums. The exhibition shows international art made under different political/cultural conditions between 1956 and 1986. The exhibition also provides another angle to look at art-collecting, away from the ‘Collection the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg or Germany’. I missed out on the Dutch Cabinet by Sara van der Heide but the installation will be on view until the end of April. Here is a <span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><strong><a href="http://www.vanabbemuseum.nl/"><span style="color: #ff0000; background-color: #ffffff;">LINK</span></a></strong></span> to Van Abbe.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Drink up the monarch&#8217;s plague this flattery?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Or whether shall I say mine eye saith true,</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">To make of monsters, and things indigest,</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Creating every bad a perfect best</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">As fast as objects to his beams assemble:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">O &#8217;tis the first, &#8217;tis flattery in my seeing,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">And my great mind most kingly drinks it up,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mine eye well knows what with his gust is &#8216;greeing,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">And to his palate doth prepare the cup.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If it be poisoned, &#8217;tis the lesser sin,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">That mine eye loves it and doth first begin.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">For when as each thing bad thou hast entombed,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">And last of all, thy greedy self consumed,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">With an individual kiss,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">And Joy shall overtake us as a flood;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Twin sisters <strong>Liesbeth and Angelique Raeven</strong> (*1971, Heerlen, Netherlands; live and work in Amsterdam) began their artistic collaboration under the generic name of <strong>L.A. Raeven</strong> in 1999. Their work rests on investigations surrounding the notion of “the ideal individual”, which they analyse through videos, drawings, installations and performances. L.A. Raeven study the status of the body and body image within western societies and the inherent social pressures. Adopting a critical attitude towards fashion and media dictates, they defy traditional representations of feminine beauty by integrating the codes of this same society to better lay them bare. Through doing this, a debate vis-a-vis the questions related to ideal body image and its social construction, within various cultural and historical contexts, is set up.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Poolse dichteres Wislawa Szymborska overleden</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">2 feb 2012</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Gisteren is de Poolse dichteres Wislawa Szymborska op 88-jarige leeftijd overleden. Szymborska won in 1996 de Nobelprijs voor de Literatuur. De juryleden van de Nobelprijs noemden de dichteres de &#8216;Mozart van de poëzie&#8217;.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Volgens haar woordvoerder is de dichteres &#8216;vredig, in haar slaap, overleden&#8217;. Ze woonde in de Zuid-Poolse stad Krakau.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Szymborska, geboren in 1923 in Kornik bij Poznan, studeerde letterkunde en sociologie in Krakau. Haar eerste gedichten publiceerde ze in 1945. De gedichten van Szymborska zijn zowel politiek als speels en geven blijk van een groot gevoel voor humor.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wislawa Szymborska heeft een klein (niet meer dan 350 gedichten) maar geniaal oeuvre nagelaten.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Een titel hoeft niet</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hier zit ik dan onder een boom</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">aan de oever van een rivier,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">op een zonnige morgen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Een nietige gebeurtenis</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">die niet de geschiedenis ingaat.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Het zijn geen veldslagen en pacten</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">waarvan de motieven worden onderzocht,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">of gedenkwaardige tirannenmoorden.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Toch zit ik aan de rivier, dat is een feit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">En nu ik hier ben,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">moet ik ergens vandaan zijn gekomen</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">en daarvoor</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">op nog vele andere plaatsen zijn geweest,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">net zoals veroveraars van landen</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">voor ze aan boord gingen.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Zelfs een vluchtig ogenblik heeft een rijk verleden,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">een vrijdag voor een zaterdag,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">een mei die aan juni voorafging.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Het heeft zijn eigen horizons,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">even werkelijk als in de veldkijkers van bevelhebbers.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">De boom is een populier die hier al jaren wortelt.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">De rivier is de Raba die langer stroomt dan vandaag.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Het paadje is niet eergisteren pas</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">door de struiken gebaand.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Om die wolken te kunnen verjagen,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">moet de wind ze eerst hierheen hebben gewaaid.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">En hoewel in de buurt niets groots gebeurt,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">is de wereld daardoor nog niet armer aan details,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">niet minder gefundeerd, niet zwakker gedefinieerd</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">dan toen volksverhuizingen haar in hun greep hielden.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Niet alleen geheime komplotten worden in stilte gehuld,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">niet alleen kroningen gaan van een gevolg van oorzaken vergezeld.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Rond kunnen niet alleen de jubilea van opstanden zijn,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">maar ook de omspoelde steentjes aan de waterkant.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dicht en verstrengeld is het borduursel van de omstandigheden.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">De steken van de mier in het gras.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Het gras dat aan de aarde is genaaid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Het golfpatroon waardoor een twijgje wordt geregen.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Het is zo gegaan dat ik hier ben en kijk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Boven me fladdert een witte vlinder in de lucht</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">met vleugeltjes die alleen van hem zijn</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">en over mijn handen vliegt zijn schaduw,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">geen andere, niet zomaar een, alleen de zijne.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Wanneer ik zoiets zie, verlaat me altijd de zekerheid</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">dat wat belangrijk is</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">belangrijker is dan wat onbelangrijk is.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Wislawa Szymborska (1923-2012)</strong> </span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Death of George Whitman</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On Wednesday 14th December, 2011, George Whitman died peacefully at home in the apartment above his bookshop, Shakespeare and Company, in Paris. George suffered a stroke two months ago, but showed incredible strength and determination up to the end, continuing to read every day in the company of his daughter, Sylvia, his friends and his cat and dog. He died two days after his 98th birthday.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-47968" title="bookshop shakespearecompany 103" src="http://kempis.nl/mag/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bookshop-shakespearecompany-103.jpg" alt="" width="495" height="334" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">George Whitman was born on December 12, 1913 to mother Grace Bates and father Walter George Whitman in East Orange, New Jersey. When George was still a baby the family moved to Salem, Massachusetts. Early in his life George&#8217;s parents instilled in him a passionate and profound respect for literature. Walter was a well-respected professor of physics and the author of several books on science in the home and community. In 1925, when George was twelve years old, Walter took the whole family (except the youngest son Carl) on a year-long sabbatical to Nanking University in China. Immersed in Chinese culture and society, George and his younger sister Mary learned the language quite quickly. It was his first trip abroad, and his experiences in China made a lasting impression on him.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-47969" title="bookshop shakespearecompany 101" src="http://kempis.nl/mag/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bookshop-shakespearecompany-101.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">George Whitman</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">With the brief exception of the Nanking exchange, George lived in Salem until he graduated from high school. While he was a student he published and edited his own satirical paper called “The Reflector” and also worked as a newsboy. In 1931 George decided to enroll as an undergraduate at Boston University with a major in journalism. After his graduation in 1935 he decided to travel again. With $40 in his pocket he caught a ride to Mexico city and began a voyage that was to trace almost 5000 kilometers through Mexico and Central America, including the Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Hawaii. During this time he became fluent in Spanish.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sylvia Whitman</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This trip was a formative experience in George&#8217;s life. Much of his traveling was done alone and on foot. He had many adventures and close calls. In an isolated part of the Yucatan he fell sick with dysentery and was forced to walk alone for three days through the swampy jungle with no food or water. Eventually he was found and nursed back to health by a tribe of Mayans. George was deeply impressed by the fact that despite hardship and extreme poverty, the people he met were invariably friendly and generous. This philosophy of “give what you can, take what you need” would become one of his founding principles.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When he arrived in Panama George ran out of money. He found a job working with the Panama Canal Company, where he stayed for several months before sailing to Hawaii and then to San Francisco in 1938, where he worked as a cable car conductor, attended classes at the University of California and enlisted in the US Army. He didn&#8217;t stay out west for long but decided to hobo his way back east, riding the rails until he arrived back in Massachussets. In 1939 he enrolled at Harvard University, where he stayed until 1941 when he was called into military service. He was trained as a Medical Warrant Officer and worked at different hospitals around Europe, helping with the wounded. Several months of his army career were spent at an isolated post in Greenland. He lived with the natives, learned to sail, and according to George, had a beautiful Eskimo girlfriend.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Returning to the United States, George managed to open and run a small bookstore in Taunton, Massachusetts while still working night shifts for the army until the war ended and he was discharged. After more travels through western Europe and France, George moved permanently to Paris in 1948 under the GI Bill. He lived in a small room in the Hotel Suez on Boulevard St. Michel in the heart of the Left Bank and enrolled at the Sorbonne, studying French civilization, philosophy, culture, and literature. Encouraged by his great friend Lawrence Lawrence Ferlinghetti, George founded his bookshop, Le Mistral, at 37 rue de la Bûcherie in 1951. The name, he says, “was in honour of the first girl I ever fell in love with.” Inspired by his encounters with the legendary bookseller Sylvia Beach, he later changed the name of his shop to Shakespeare and Company. In 1981 George&#8217;s only daughter was born at the Hôtel Dieu, directly across the Seine from the bookshop. She was respectfully named after Sylvia Beach.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For 60 years George worked tirelessly to ensure that Shakespeare and Company remains not only a venerable independent bookshop, but also a renowned Left Bank cultural institution and a home-away-from-home for many thousands of writers and visitors from around the world. In 2006 he was awarded the Officier des Arts et Lettres by the French Minister of Culture for his lifelong contribution to the arts.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On Wednesday 14th December, 2011, George Whitman died at home in the apartment above his bookshop, Shakespeare and Company, in Paris. George suffered a stroke two months before, but showed incredible strength and determination up to the end, continuing to read every day in the company of his daughter, Sylvia, his friends and his cat and dog. He died two days after his 98th birthday.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">After a life entirely dedicated to books, authors and readers, George will be sorely missed by all his loved ones and by bibliophiles around the world who have read, written and stayed in his bookshop for over 60 years. Nicknamed the Don Quixote of the Latin Quarter, George will be remembered for his free spirit, his eccentricity and his generosity &#8211; all three summarised in the verses written on the walls of his open, much-visited library : &#8220;Be not inhospitable to strangers / Lest they be angels in disguise.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">George was buried at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, in the good company of other men and women of letters such as Guillaume Apollinaire, Colette, Oscar Wilde and Balzac. His bookstore continues, run by his daughter Sylvia.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium; color: #888888;">31 januari 2012</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Schrijfster Doeschka Meijsing overleden</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In haar woonplaats Amsterdam is gisteravond de schrijfster Doeschka Meijsing overleden. Zij werd vierenzestig jaar. Meijsing stierf aan de complicaties van een zware operatie.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Doeschka Meijsing schreef vele verhalen, gedichten, essays en romans. Ze debuteerde in 1974 bij Querido met De hanen en andere verhalen. Voor Tijger, tijger! (1980) ontving ze de Multatuliprijs. De tweede man (2000) werd genomineerd voor de AKO Literatuurprijs en betekende Meijsings doorbraak naar het grote publiek. Haar roman 100% chemie (2002) werd genomineerd voor de Libris Literatuur Prijs en kan worden gezien als een opmaat tot Moord, haar deel van de roman Moord &amp; Doodslag (2005), die ze samen met haar broer Geerten Meijsing schreef. In 2008 publiceerde ze de roman Over de liefde, die bekroond werd met de F. Bordewijkprijs, de Opzij Literatuurprijs en de AKO Literatuurprijs. Dit aangrijpende relaas over de schaamte die liefde heet, werd haar laatste boek.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Annette Portegies, directeur/uitgever Querido: ‘Doeschka Meijsing verborg een diepe kwetsbaarheid achter een superieure vorm van ironie, zowel in haar werk als in haar leven. Weerspannig als ze was, was ze een vrouw om van te houden. Querido rouwt om de dood van Doeschka, die bijna veertig jaar aan de uitgeverij verbonden was. De Nederlandse literatuur verliest opnieuw een auteur van wereldformaat.’</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">De begrafenis zal in besloten kring plaatsvinden.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Daarachter</strong></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Waar ieder</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">ander een rivaal is.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Die deur.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Daarachter.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wie er liederen zingt.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wegens groot succes geprolongeerd: <strong>TiLT</strong>.

Vorig jaar was de eerste editie stijf uitverkocht. Op zaterdag 17 maart gaat De NWE Vorst in Tilburg opnieuw op <strong>TiLT</strong>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-47950" title="gummbah tilt2012" src="http://kempis.nl/mag/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/gummbah-tilt2012.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="492" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In de Boekenweek komen de letteren tot leven. En hoe! Het Zuidelijk Toneel opent het bal, in een verrassende combi met Fontysstudenten. Robert Vuijsje komt langs met zijn nieuwe roman Beste Vriend. AKO-literatuurprijswinnares Marente de Moor zal er zijn. Maar ook absurdist Gummbah met zijn Net niet verschenen boeken, Henk van Straten met zijn Superlul, en stadsdichteres Esther Porcelijn met vers Tilburgs vlees.</span></p>
