<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Read both poems from A to Z
with a big smile on my face. Trenité had a sharp eye, he was able to view not only
English but especially his own native language in a charming, innocent and
funny way. I felt therefore somewhat surprised (and saddened) to find out the
guy was chiefly seen as a charlatan by fellow Neerlandists.</p>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">A light-hearted approach was
apparently not favored back then...too bad.</p>
