Op tocht naar Pupurnigahem

We dwarrelen met onze geest naar Vlamertingahem. We horen er dat op acht kilometer van Vlamertingahem gebieden liggen waar de Frank Pupurn zijn verblijfplaats heeft gekozen. Een achterkleinzoon van Vlamert toont ons de juiste weg hoe we Pupurningahem kunnen bereiken. Een slingerend pad leidt ons, onversaagden, door een dicht en duister bos. Na een vermoeiende en onzekere tocht van 3 mijlen…

Standing at the Gates of Hell

Counting the dead – Lijssenthoek, Poperinge Standing at the gates of hellWe did not linger, did not dwellOn days long goneOr dreams forgottenStanding at the gates of hellWe felt it keenly, felt it wellThat life was shortAnd all too brittleStanding at the gates of hellIn silence did we wonderShivering did we ponderWhich sullied choice had led us here. Lijssenthoek,…

La petite journée en amoureux à Ostende

Le petit dej dans les locaux de l'ancienne grote post, la vieille imprimerie, la balade sur la digue et la jetée, le luna park 🤍

Dans l'ancienne poste, il y a des personnages particuliers, on s'est demandé si ce n'était pas des figurants, volontairement vintage pour coller à l'époque du bâtiment des années 50. La vieille dame qui lit son journal en attendant au guichet d'informations est clairement là en train de faire son job (mais wtf la chaussette ?) mais pendant qu'on mangeait, plusieurs personnes avaient un style vestimentaire totalement vintage et étaient assises ça et là, aussi occupés à lire des journaux froissés. Il y avait aussi peut-être, parmi les personnes âgées, des gens qui avaient travaillé là lorsque la poste était encore d'activité. J'ai eu l'impression d'être dans deux époques en même temps.

Même sensation bizarre sur la route du retour en passant par Poperinge, qui est une ville traversée par la frontière française. Le flamand/français est partout, dans les noms de rues à moitié l'un à moitié l'autre, dans les devantures des maisons, dans les pierres utilisées, dans les panneaux... Je suis frontalière, je suis habituée aux passages de frontière, à l'esthétique et aux panneaux qui changent en quelques mètres mais là l'endroit est rempli d'un mélange, c'était étrange.

Petit bond particulier dans l'espace et dans le temps aujourd'hui.

Everyone who is like me needs to read The Warm Hands Of Ghosts by Katherine Arden right now. It feels like reading a statement from The Magnus Archives, it's queer, it's really upsetting, it's based in World War I, it destroyed me so much, it's beautiful, it's gutwrenching, it's one of the best books I've ever read.

Wilfred Iven is stuck in a pillbox with a German soldier after an attack on Passchendaele. Despite their odds, they escape, and are met with an elusive battlefield legend known as The Fiddler.

Laura Iven is told by three crazy mediums that her brother isn't dead. So she makes her way to Poperinge, Belgium with her friend Penelope Shaw and boss Mary Borden, reinstated as a nurse in the war hospital under the eye of Stephen Jones, an American doctor.

Een type 'Willem Vermandere'

De stellingen van Luther zien het daglicht in het Duitsland 1517 en het zou wel eens mogelijk kunnen zijn dat deze ketterse geschriften zich al vroeg verspreiden tot in Poperinge. Keizer Karel verbiedt hier in 1527 al het kopen en verkopen van dergelijke ‘injurieuze schimpschriften’. Op 21 maart van dit jaar wordt er door de vierschaar van het nabijgelegen Sint-Winoksbergen al een veroordeling…

Maurice is niet meer. 

De voornaam volstaat. Net zoals bij Elvis, LeBron, Cher of Napoleon.   

De voornaam volstaat - voor wie twintig, dertig, veertig jaar geleden naar het Sint-Stanislascollege in Poperinge ging.

Maurice gaf er Latijn. En levenslessen. 

Hij voedde op, wees terecht en was betrokken. Nooit gehinderd door leerplannen. ‘Eindtermen vormen slechts een begin’, had hij gezegd kunnen hebben. 

Maurice legde een bus in om zijn Latijnse klassen naar Anton van Wilderode te laten luisteren, de stokoude poëet met de fragiele stem die we nog hoorden, maar niet meer begrepen. Maurice nam ‘zijn mannen’ mee naar de achtertuin van Willem Vermandere - nog zo’n bard. Maurice nam een examen Latijn mondeling af: hexameters scanderen. Je kreeg een stuk poëzie dat je nog nooit had gezien, en dat mocht je opzeggen. Omdat je ogen vooruitholden en de jamben en anapesten aftastten, rolde het metrum even later uit je mond.

‘Mannen, jullie zijn de elite van morgen’, gebood hij streng. We lachten om zoveel waan en pretentie. Pas later had ik door dat hij het in de morele zin bedoelde: prijs je gelukkig om je vorming en gedraag je ernaar.

Tityre, tu patulae recubans sub tegmine fagi.

Maurice, rust jij nu maar onder het loverdak van de beuk.

English Language Teaching

Being that English is one of my favourite subjects to teach, I was so enthusiastic about this study unit! As this is the case, I enjoyed these lectures a lot and found them extremely useful!

One particular moment I enjoyed was our visit to Poperinge with this class!

For this quick trip, we visited the Talbot House in Poperinge and took part in a Shakespeare Drama workshop.

During the workshop, we participated in different activities ranging from improv acting, treasure hunts, and Shakespeare acting!

We also had English tea and scones as a little treat, it was so yummy!
