Beste Jelma, de wierheid hat altyd in skel lud. Dyn freon Oppewal (ut itselde partoer sis mar, om syn eigen wurden te sitearjen) hat dizze wurden oer Cor (en ek oer Anne Feddema) letterlik sein.

Oer my hat er bgl. tsjin Tine Bethlehem en Meindert Bylsma sein (ek letterlik): ‘Dy Josse de Haan is neat en wurdt nea wat, it is weardeleaze rotsoai’. Dit sei in befoarderer dus oer in skriuwer dy’t al heel wat jierren dwaande wie. Tsjin 2 minsken dy’t presys wisten wat dizze De Haan dien hie. Him ek heel goed koene.

Wat er oer my sei tsjin Van Krevelen is ek folslein de realiteit fan 1994. Skilje Van Krevelen en silst itselde ferhaal hearre wat ik skreau.

Dyselde Oppewal hat ek besocht de oersetting fan Piksjitten op Snyp tsjin te halden troch allegearre manipulaasjes op it front fan de subsydzjes. Yn gearwurking mei Bilker en Veenbaas. Kornuiten ut itselde partoer.

Guon my goedgesinde lju yn Fryslan en yn Hollan hawwe dy oersetting doe reden. En uteraard de geweldige oersetter Harmen Wind.

Brek my de bek net iepen oer dizze ofbrekker fan 18 jier saneamd befoarderjen.
Watze Hiddema as bestjoerslid fan it FLMD hat him der delsetten yn 1993, want hy ‘is in goede organisator en hy komt ut in goed (griffermeard) nest. Ek al is er gemikus, dat makket neat ut’.

Hy fertelde my dat doe’t wy op de Autobahn riden nei Frankfurt der’t Tsjebbe Hettinga optrede soe.
Ik frege him doe: ‘en ferstan fan literatuer is net wichtich?’
Antwurd fan Hiddema: ‘Nee’.

De frou dy’t doe ek sollisitearre - dy’t literatuer studearre hie (do kenst har) - kaam net yn de beneaming (hie in te grutte konkurrint foar Frou Steenmeijer wurden).

Kwealaster Jelma? In heel soad skriuwers fan de leste 18 jier kinne dy deselde ferhalen fertelle oer dizze bornearre eigenwize figuer.

Dizze s.n. befoarderer hat 18 jier in ofbrekker west. Wiis my oan wat er befoardere hat op it med fan de literatuer. Nul komma nul.
Krijst in pear flessen goeie Franske of Spaanske wyn asto my oanwize kinst wat er befoardere hat.

Moat ik dy kwealaster fan Josse de Haan yn myn eigen blêd/website lêze? Skrasse dy hannel. En as Tresoar soe ik
oanjefte dwaan by de ofsier fan justysje.

Sign of the Four

Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes took his bottle from the corner of the mantel-piece and his hypodermic syringe from its neat morocco case. With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture-marks. Finally he thrust the sharp point home, pressed down the tiny piston, and sank back into the velvet-lined arm-chair with a long sigh of satisfaction.

Three times a day for many months I had witnessed this performance, but custom had not reconciled my mind to it. On the contrary, from day to day I had become more irritable at the sight, and my conscience swelled nightly within me at the thought that I had lacked the courage to protest. Again and again I had registered a vow that I should deliver my soul upon the subject, but there was that in the cool, nonchalant air of my companion which made him the last man with whom one would care to take anything approaching to a liberty. His great powers, his masterly manner, and the experience which I had had of his many extraordinary qualities, all made me diffident and backward in crossing him.

Yet upon that afternoon, whether it was the Beaune which I had taken with my lunch, or the additional exasperation produced by the extreme deliberation of his manner, I suddenly felt that I could hold out no longer.

“Which is it to-day?” I asked,–”morphine or cocaine?”

He raised his eyes languidly from the old black-letter volume which he had opened. “It is cocaine,” he said,–”a seven-percent. solution. Would you care to try it?”

“No, indeed,” I answered, brusquely. “My constitution has not got over the Afghan campaign yet. I cannot afford to throw any extra strain upon it.”

He smiled at my vehemence. “Perhaps you are right, Watson,” he said. “I suppose that its influence is physically a bad one. I find it, however, so transcendently stimulating and clarifying to the mind that its secondary action is a matter of small moment.”

“But consider!” I said, earnestly. “Count the cost! Your brain may, as you say, be roused and excited, but it is a pathological and morbid process, which involves increased tissue-change and may at last leave a permanent weakness. You know, too, what a black reaction comes upon you. Surely the game is hardly worth the candle. Why should you, for a mere passing pleasure, risk the loss of those great powers with which you have been endowed? Remember that I speak not only as one comrade to another, but as a medical man to one for whose constitution he is to some extent answerable.”

He did not seem offended. On the contrary, he put his finger-tips together and leaned his elbows on the arms of his chair, like one who has a relish for conversation.

“My mind,” he said, “rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession,–or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world.”

EBLUL hâldt op 01-03-2010
.
It Europeeske Buro foar Lytse Talen - ek wol bekend as EBLUL - hâldt der mei op. It bestjoer fan dizze Europeeske organisaasje foar minderheidstalen hat dit besletten omdat it finansjele draachflak ûnder de organisaasje te lyts wurden wie om troch te gean.
.
EBLUL is yn 1985 oprjochte op inisjatyf fan it Europeesk Parlemint en waard ek jierrenlang stipe troch de provinsje Fryslân. De lêste edysje fan it jierlikse EBLUL-kongres wie de ôfrûne hjerst ek yn Ljouwert.
.
EBLUL stie foar European Bureau for Lesser Used Languages en hat 25 jier warber west as lobby-organisaasje foar de Europeeske minderheidstalen lykas it Baskysk, it Frysk, it Welsk en in soad oare talen. Njonken it lobbywurk waarden ek saneamde stúdzjereizen organisearre, dêr’t ek in soad Friezen oan meidien hawwe, en konferinsjes oer minderheidstalen.
.
EBLUL is yn finansjeel swier waar rekke, doe’t de Europeeske kommisje in pear jier lyn de finansjele stipe oan de organisaasje ynluts.
.
De Frysk/Nedersaksyske ôfdieling fan EBLUL, it EBLT yn Ljouwert, fergadert nije wike tiisdei oer de ûntstiene situaasje. It EBLT is fan doel om de aktiviteiten troch te setten yn oparbeidzjen mei Mercator, it Europeesk kennissintrum foar meartaligens fan de Fryske Akademy.
