Subject: introduction

Dear Lowlanders,

Seid mir recht herzlich gegrueszt, Ihr lieben Mitmenschen!

As I sit, sweltering in 97 degree U.S. east coast heat (for those of you
more familiar with the odd Bonapartist system of
measurement,  97 degrees Fahrenheit is hot), I gaze wistfully at an old
photograph of a North-Brabant landscape with the caption
“Oude boerderij (krukhuis) onder Son.” The foreground shows still
sun-dappled bouwland, while in the background stand thatched-roof
farm buildings, surrounded by trees bent by the wind of  an approaching
storm indicated by the inky-black sky.  I doubt that it was 97
degrees there.  One can but sigh longingly.

Please allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Robert Lantz, and I am
what is known in cyberspeak as a “list lurker.”  I read the
postings with great interest, but lack the expertise to post anything of
value myself. My experience with the Lowlands is confined to
many visits to Belgium and Holland a long time ago, and an interest in
the literature of northern Germany.

That said, I retreat into the shadows.

Schoenen Grusz aus Virginia, USA.

Robert
