A Lesson Of Life (Mata Hari) Comments

What a wonderfull tribute to this famous woman. I like it as a friesian to hear about Margaretha zelle best known as Mata hari troughtout the word. She had the best of both worlds combined. Reminds me of another half javanese poet here in Sneek and his brother both artists at heart. Tjeerd lighthart is a real joy and a tribute to both friesland and indonesia. Unable to live of the art of poetry he ran a indonesian restaurant was a teacher and a waiter biding the time he was left without inspiriation. He told me he would not write for months and suddenly hed write for days. Fortunately he got published. Still i miss his cooking as i thouroughly enjoyed their food. May angels greet you Boomwhisperer Ruerd
