Voor mij een absoluut meesterwerkje van de grote verteller/dichter uit het kleine Lier (15 kilometer van Antwerpen).
In de novelle "De zeer schone uren van Juffrouw Symforosa, begijntjen" (1918) staat de mislukte liefde centraal. Juffrouw Symforosa, een begijn, woont op het schilderachtige begijnhof van Lier en wordt verliefd op de tuinier, Martienus...
**************************************************************************
I think this is an absolute masterpiece by the great storyteller/poet from the little town of Lier (10 miles from Antwerp)
The novella "The very beautiful hours of Miss Symphorosa, little sister of the beguines" (1918) focuses on failed love. Miss Symforosa, a beguine, lives in the picturesque beguinage of Lier and falls in love with the gardener, Martienus...
The translation by Eleanor Roach is absolutely on par with the original, and as poetical as Felix Timmermans made it in “his” Dutch from Lier…
