This NFT is titled 'The Gardener and Death' and is my take on the famous poem by Dutch poet P.N. van Eyck ( 1887-1954 ).
The original title of the poem is 'De tuinman en de dood' and it's about a nobleman, his gardener and his encounter with death. The translation of the poem goes something like this:
A Persian Nobleman:
Early this morn, pale with fright, my gardener hastened into my home and cried: ‘Sir, sir, one moment, please!
Down in the rosary, pruning roses with care, I turned to look behind me. Death stood there.
I took great fright, and made haste along the other side, but still I caught the threatening gesture of his hand.
'Master, your horse! And let me try to get away. Before the evening in Isfahan I will stay !’-
This afternoon (he'd long since had gone his way) I came across Death down yonder in the cedar glade.
‘Why', I ask, because he stands and waits forlorn, 'Did you came to threaten my gardener this morn'?'
Smiling he answers: 'No threat it was, wherefore your gardener fled, I was surprised,
That morning here to see still working the man, I was to fetch that night in Isfahan.'
