The chicory farmer - Luc Mathijs

Description

The statue ''The chicory farmer'' by Luc Mathijs is located on the Kerkplein of Kampenhout at the entrance of the Molenstee retirement home. Poet Marcel Pira wrote the poem:

The chicory farmer
Rooted in the bible of his village
with hands that determine his own destiny
and words that hardly translate him
-everything he achieves is on a roll
From- that's how the year covers him
With hard work, never tired of life:
First the germination of the seed in the very beginning
spring plumage,
than the care of the plant in hot summer hours
In wet autumn, sometimes in the layer of a
rheumatism bite with the
simmering fires...
But when the white gold is under his
Eyes Rice
Suddenly, the ground becomes his organ that
praises his labor.

Marcel Pira
