Very Good - Eerste Sagtebanf uitgawe.

"It's kind of silly to mark this book as "read" or "to read." It contains the essence of Afrikaans poetry over much of its existence.
Waarom skryf ek hierdie resensie in Engels? Mens "lees" nie die Groot Verseboek nie. Jy hou dit op jou bedkassie en leer van die gediggies vir jou kleinkinders en sneak 'n paar trane (weer eens) oor die graf in die gras, láát as sy nog TV kyk.
Dis al."

"Now this is not the kind of book you read from cover to cover; it covers too much! But it was required for our Afrikaans course at 'varsity. I have since read around in it more and more and discovered more and more poets that I enjoy. My favourite poem at the time was HA Fagan's "Ek het 'n huisie by die see" (a poem set to music and made famous by "Laurika Rauch)"
