Original title: 'de zonderling'
From the collection: 'Achter de hand', 1978

The eccentric
his garden is overgrown with weeds
undermined by moles
instead of flowers
there are dried-up thistles
in his room, from the ceiling
cobwebs hang down
and the dampness from the walls
affects his spine
he experiences sympathy from the children
the parents shake their heads
