5. Poëzie God woont in de Fokke Simonszstraat Ik hoorde van een zeereerwaarde en hoogbejaarde dominee: de Here wou met onze aarde niet één dag langer meer in zee. Al zouden wij Hem overstelpen met eredienst en dankgebed, het zou geen ene moer meer helpen: er werd een punt achter gezet. Maar zie: daar was diezelfde morgen zo'n rotjoch in de grote stad een doodziek duiffie aan 't verzorgen dat-ie op straat gevonden had. Willem Wilmink
