Farewell brilliant Poet, warm, wonderful, magnificent human being. Our world is immeasurably more boring, mundane without your towering presence. Hart in ‘n kissie.. in die Boland, en niks sal dit ontwy nie. #BreytenBreytenbach

The urge to get up and go - to travel, to follow the beckoning horizon, to leave oneself behind and thereby approach inner silences and spaces – that need must be as old as our awareness of mankind. Stopovers will be places of the imagination but also stations of survival: a privileged valley, a well with water shining blackly, grazing for the animals, a marketplace with shouts and murmurs of cloth, a town of wise men and unwise women and little bowls holding red sweets, stuffed pigeon breasts, the season just started, a crossing and jostling of stars, the distance where wind is born. - Breyten Breytenbach, A Veil of Footsteps, opening lines.
Honoring #BreytenBreytenbach, who died yesterday.
Here are the opening lines of his "A Veil of Footsteps"
"…the distance where wind is born."
RIP Afrikaans poet and anti-apartheid activist Breyten Breytenbach (1939-2024)
26 November 1975
Mag die bome groen bly
en die sterre wit,
en mag daar altyd mense wees
wat mekaar sonder skaamte
in die oë kan kyk-
want die lewe is 'n asem lank
