Hello,

A friend of mine sended this excerpt for a Willem Bilderdyk's poem.
But, I can't read Dutch at all. Could someone translate it ???

Thank you very much.

And with harmlessness shares thy soul her lust with the desires,
Moves wisdom not from the heart,  feelings not from the mind,
But  experiences the truth there, where faith you'll find.

Gerald.

P.S. where are the real translaters hiding?

Not a real translater either, but would say it somewhat differently:

And unsuspectingly, your soul shares its lust with the senses,
does not separate wisdom from the heart, nor feelings from the mind,
but feels the truth there, where conviction burns.

I think 99% of the Dutch can't read it either, let alone translate it.

Do dead body's fail?
