As wave after wave
of the turbulent sea
Rolls in as it roars
to exhaustion
My dear, I'm afraid that,
in staying with me,
Naught stands between you
and misfortune;
From hope and despair
in the highest degree.
From wandering thoughts
that approach and then flee,
Love's flow and its ebb
---in proportion!

Translation: Alan Myers in Selection of 19th century Russian poetry. A.K. Tolstoy.

What does the Bard do?

Bard van Twenthe is a Bard (poet of epic verse). This site contains essays, and nautical tours and -texts, written as well as spoken ones. Sporadically, Bard is involved in performances and experimental (solo) theatre shows, or acts as a moderator.

Quoting B. Traven: "My personal history ... is my own affair which I want to keep to myself. I am in fact in no way more important than is the typesetter ..., the man who works the mill; ... no more important than ... the scrubwoman who cleans up the office."
