Knorpot zit in de gietende regen. De hemel is donker. De regen is brutaal. Ongenadig hard. Meedogenloos. De druppels zijn groot en zwaar. De aarde barst open. De grond kan het water niet slikken en de polder is een plas. Onder de kastanje zit Knorpot zeiknat te zijn.
Boerken komt erbij staan en zegt dat Knorpot een vreugdeloos wezen is. Het hagelt nu grote dikke bollen ijs. Roffelen. Pijn.
"Vreugdeloos" roept Knorpot tegen de regen die nog heviger wordt. "Ik ben vreugdeloos. Hoor je dat, regen? In mij zit geen vreugde. Ik ben killer dan de schaduw. Grijzer dan grijs. Ik ben als u, regen. Ik ben als die hagelbollen. Als de kleur van de lucht. Als de kleine verse lentebloemen die nu dood geranseld worden. De jonge konijnen die verzuipen in het nest dat nu onder loopt. Ik ben vreugdeloos. Moet ik daar blij mee zijn? Ik ben dus geen mens meer."

BeantwoordenVerwijderenLeonard Cohen – Who by Fire
And who by fire, who by water,
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Who by very slow decay,
And who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
And who by avalanche, who by powder,
Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
And who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident,
Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
Who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
Who in mortal chains, who in power,
And who shall I say is calling?
Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire
Love is a burnin' thing,
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire ran wild.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire.
Editors - No Sound But the Wind
We can never go home
We no longer have one
I'll help you carry the load
I'll carry you in my arms
The kiss of the snow
The crescent moon above us
Our blood is cold
And we're alone
But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever
If I say shut your eyes
If I say look away
Bury your face in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your head
They will stay here forever
Our blood is cold
And we're alone, love
But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
It will light our way forever
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Now help me to carry the fire
It will light up our way forever
If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
Bury me in surprise
Where I say shut your eyes
Help me to carry the fire
We will keep it alight together
Help me carry the fire
It will light our way forever
