Hjoed is it Fryske befrijdingsdei.

Yn de hal fan Beyers Naudé yn Ljouwert sammelje de earsteklassers harren yn de hal by it oarlochsmonumint. In muorreskildering. Underoan de skildering fan in ingel dy’t in soldaat fuorttriuwt, steane de nammen fan fyftjin âld-learlingen dy’t ûnder de besetting omkommen binne.

Op de skildering stiet ek in tekst, yn it Gryksk. It is in tekst út de bibel, Iepenbiering fan Johannes 2, fers 10. ‘Wês net benaud foar it lijen dat dy te wachtsjen stiet. Bliuw trou oan ’e dea ta, dan sil ik dy de oerwinningskrânse fan it libben jaan.”

Salman Rushdie has said that his first thought upon seeing the man who would stab him on stage in August 2022 was: “So it’s you. Here you are.”

“It felt like something coming out of the distant past and trying to drag me back in time, if you like, back into that distant past, in order to kill me,” said the Indian-born British-American author of books including The Satanic Verses and Midnight’s Children.
