carfree sunday

Today the centre of Amsterdam was carfree. The weather was great. With my friend Liz we made a boattrip on a historical ferry. A sundayafternoon well spent.

Nothing worth watching on TV, I visited other surprising blogs. On one of them I came across this music clip. Nice enough to share it with you. Name of the girl is Yael Naim and the album is called New Soul.

Emily Dickinson

It's all I have to bring today

This, and my heart beside

This, and my heart, and all the fields

And all the meadows wide

Be sure you count

should I forget Some one the sum could tell

This, and my heart, and all the Bees

Which in the Clover dwell.

Emily Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Though virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson has come to be regarded, along with Walt Whitman, as one of the two quintessential American poets of the 19th century.
Dickinson lived an introverted and hermetic life. Although she wrote, at the last count, 1,789 poems, only a handful of them were published during her lifetime. Some of these published anonymously and some may have been published without her knowledge.

Tonight I saw a play about Emily played by

Roos Blaauboer.
