Verse Four

(Version 1.0.1

'
If very wise and very loving people die,
then they become angels for a while,
till they are born again.
- Wise means 'knowing what is going on.'
- Loving means 'wanting to stay with people to make them
happy.' *(1)
'
(Continued in Verse Five, 'Love Makes Not Blind.')

'Men of all nations came
to listen to Solomon's wisdom,
sent by all the kings of the world,
who had heard of his wisdom.'
1 Kings 4:34

I wrote in Verse Three, in Dutch:
'Toon Hermans is mijn beschermbengel.'
Translation:
Toon Hermans is my guardian angel, with a twinkle in his eye.
*(2)

I wrote in Verse Two:
The words of Toon Hermans are musical compositions.
His words are symphonies, piano concertos, violin concertos,
oboe concertos,
and also tuba concertos, piccolo concertos, and brass
bands.
And sometimes his words are a concerto for mandolin,
for flute or for harp.

I wrote in Verse One:
In my opinion, Toon Hermans is the greatest person of Holland
in the twentieth century.

I wrote earlier:
Quoting Toon Hermans describing current "science" -
"He overlooked it all,
the loving and the beautiful,
because, high on his pedestal
with all his science cold,
in mind the normal things
of life he did not hold."

(major Dutch entertainer and poet)

"Hij zag het over het hoofd,
het lieve en het schone,
omdat hij op zijn hoge trap
met al zijn koele wetenschap,
geen oog had voor 't gewone."
