After Visions of Peace No. I - Hope, now the recent revision of No. II Lament, for piano à q. m.
It is about not overcoming the envy which is all too often the originator of the hatred that underlies all wars. About hard hearts that no longer hear what comes from within; sensitive brains that rely only on the outside.
Both pieces of music connect with this, because "Love and hope and be prepared" - from the Dutch poem
"Gij En Wij Saam" by Albert Verwey (1865-1937) - seem so far away. hansbakker.musicaneo.com/sheetmusic/sm-544118_visions_of_peace_ii_-_lament_for_piano_a_q_m.html

Both pieces of music connect with this, because "Love and hope and be prepared" - from the Dutch poem "Gij En Wij Saam" by Albert Verwey (1865-1937) - seem so far away. It begins like this:
Who is so strong that he tames the chaos? Who can see suffering without weeping eyes?
Not we: but precisely for that reason we feel destined To restless striving. You and we together, we must act, Not overly wise, not overly bold, To the best of our ability. He who truly lives has in his heart An indestructible spring, A silent strength, that defies all resistance. Call her name to us: speak it out and teach What is stronger than disaster and sorrow.
No teaching, no name: only the will To be stronger than suffering and time, Accept your task, carry it out silently:
Love and hope and be prepared. .........
