The Combed Thunderclap: 2009
Gedig: My Diep Ontwaakde Hunkering
van 'n diep ontwaakde hunkering
lê 'n diep begrawe hunkering.
op grond grof tot die reën weer kom
die donderweer van die reën wat kom
wat heimwee in my hart weer bring.
Daar's 'n huis wat agter heinings staan
'n huis waar grasse ruig opstaan
met skadus teen die baksteenmuur
en'k onthou weer eens was iemand hier
en sy het daar langs die rooi steenmuur
in die son soms vir 'n ruk gestaan
geglimlag en dan in gegaan
en my hele hart herroep haar hier
Want my leefruim het sy weg gebaan
met doel en drif verspoel in eiewaan
en haar sag bruin oë en helder lag
diep wys stem en roesbruin hareprag
het vir ewig eendag stilgeraak
vir ewig sag bruin nimmermeer
en die diep verlange eggo weer
want hartseer bly geduldig wag
Terwyl die hitte styg uit die teerpad op
en die geur van sinkdakke en stof
sag-saggies sweef soos herinnerings
soos die hartseer en herinnering
van my lank begrawe hunkering.
Daar duskant Jakarandatakke
wat skuif en skuur oor die roes sinkdakke
verrys beelde van my hunkering.
Isn't it strange? Sometimes you buy a book, it looks and is easy to read, promises to be entertaining--and yet rests on your shelf for ages. That was the case with The Invention of Hugo Cabret. I acquired the hardcover soon after it came out in 2007, yet only took it from the shelf last night--more out of a restless need to consume reading matter than a particularly focused interest.

Alain Badiou - An Introduction - Part II
Bertrand Russell noticed, however, that not all well formed formulae would be satisfiable. In particular, he noticed that the formula: the set that includes as its elements every set that is not also a set of itself involves a fundamental contradiction, for if the overall set does not also include itself, then it should include itself, but once it includes itself it should no longer be included. This is called Russell's Paradox.
