“Als kind had mijn tante Olive
een voor anderen onzichtbaar vriendinnetje.
Topsy woonde helemaal achterin de tuin.
Dat het maar verbeelding was
heeft Olive nooit willen geloven.
En toen ze vele jaren later begon te dementeren
hield Topsy haar opnieuw trouw gezelschap.
(Uit: Kinderpraat)”

“As a child, my aunt Olive had a friend
Who was invisible to others.
Topsy lived at the back of the garden.
That this was just her imagination
Olive always strenuously denied.
And when she developed dementia many years later
Topsy again faithfully kept her company.

“Children listen to their parents
And to their wife when they are bigger.
In places where women are of little consequence,
they listen to an imam.
Hopefully it's a good one.
