  1. This is the best picture ever. lol no it isn't :p

  2. 1321, the first thing I think: hey, didn't Dante die in that year? (how about no?)

  3. Wait, were you kidding? I didn't actually know that. I didn't even know he died in the fourteenth century, honestly. (ah, the part in parentheses probably means you are indeed kidding)
  4. Well, I was kind of kidding, I was serching for poetrie, because I'm quite in Dutch poëtrie, wich gave my hunderds of images of Dante, so I serched 1321 Dante.
    I was serching for poetie BTW because I'm quite in poetire, I did do "some" projects about it on school (becuase I wanted to, not because I had to) I'm at the moment bussy with a poëm wich is called "vrezen te wezen wat ik zijn zal" I'ave not got that much inspiration at the moment... but here is something I made a few weeks ago: (in Dutch, of corse)


    Men zegt: "Het zij zo"
    maar dat zeggend
    zij dat slechts een illusie
    Men zegt dat het zij zoals één ziel dat zegt te menen

    maar het zeggen van het menen
    zegt niks
    over het menen van het zeggen

    zeg nu zelf

    and, not really thought myselve, but, I really love this one: (P. C. Boutens, de goede dood)

    Goede dood wiens zuiver pijpen
    door het verstilde leven boort
    en die tot glimlach van begrijpen
    al het jong en schoon bekoort

    voor wie kinderen en wijzen
    lachend laten, boek en spel
    voor wie verkleumde grijzen
    huiveren in hun kille cel,-

    Mij is elke dag verloren
    Die uw lokstem niet verneemt
    Want dit land van most en koren
    is mij immer schoon en vreemd

    want nooit beurde ik hier te drinken
    't water dat de ziel verjongt
    of wat dichtbij hief te klinken
    't verre wijsje wat gij zongt

    alle schoon dat de aard kan geven
    blijkt een pad dat tot u voert
    en alleen is leven leven
    als het tot de dood ontroerd

    annyways, mmhh, he is eating pumpkin for the next tree years...

  5. Yum, pumpkin lol. And cool, poems :D

  6. I like it! But are you sure you're meaning to say "zij" there and not "is"? Isn't "zij" only used for coniunctivus/optativus? (not sure if there are English or Dutch terms for those, but you know Latin anyway so it shouldn't matter :p)

  7. These two "zij"'s are the same, I think. ;)
    nltimv, Sachrock and Jelle68 like this.
  8. you may actually use "zij" as a conjuctives as long as the subject is neuter (is that the correct term? ("onzijdig" in Dutch))
    and, I think most people are getting an error from all those talking about langue...
    nltimv and Sachrock like this.
  9. Hm, I'm not too sure, seems dubious :p But well, dichtersvrijheid, I guess... :rolleyes:

    Hm, couldn't find much with 1329:

    I kind of needed to go to bed half an hour ago, though, so I'm heading off for now!
  10. Google images doesn't give great results for the thousands,

    So this, I guess...
