“In this philosophical 1918 novella by Flemish poet van de Woestijne, a dying peasant is visited by his five senses in the anthropomorphic guises of women he knew in the past. Nand lies alone, recalling his family and his life, and begins to feel discontent with his approaching death. When he laments that he will never get what he wants, his eyes appear to him as a young woman and remind him of everything he has seen, along with the memory of his contentment with the beauty of his farmland, his wife, and his family. As each subsequent woman speaks, the years of Nand’s life return to him, filled with bright colors, shimmering birdsong, and brash, cold winds.” This is a print-on-demand edition. #62211
