Sy noem die gedig âuiters, uiters ironiesâ (Spies 2004b).â¦) In die kunsliedgaan die twee groot liefdes vir die musiek en vir die woord ân absolute noue verbinte-nis met mekaar aan.â Die kunslied âwas intiem deel van my leweâ (Spies 2004b).

river1. 1  a natural stream of water of fairly large size flowing in a definite course or channel or series of diverging and converging channels. 2  a similar stream of something other than water: a river of lava; a river of ice. 3  any abundant stream or copious flow; outpouring: rivers of tears; rivers of words.
The path of a river is one of lifeâs greatest metaphors. The depth and beauty of it develops with age and time. The flow will rise and fall with the changing seasons. Its path twists and turns, its character calm or turbulent, its faces beautiful or tragic, its demeanor lazy or challenging.
