    Bericht aan de levenden
    Allen, die hier tesamen zijn,
    de levenden, de doden,
    de handbreed, die ons scheidt, is klein,
    wij zijn tesamen ontboden voor het gericht ...
    Gedenk de liefste, die hier ligt,

    maar gun Uw ogen wijder zicht,
    aanzie het land en alle mens tegader,
    hoor dit bericht:
    Wij staan tesaam voor het gericht
    voor goed of kwaad te kiezen,
    een volk dat voor tirannen zwicht,
    zal meer dan lijf en goed verliezen,
    dan dooft het licht.

    He reminds me of Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain-- of course Clemens didn't himself come from a suppressed culture or background of colonization, but he had a strong empathy for those that did, and was one of the most merciless and clever critics of our own expansionism and imperialist phase. He also upheld a prose and a way of speaking that was considered 'lowly' or 'uncivilized' in high-society rather than writing and speaking in 'proper' English.

    Thank you Anna, I thoroughly enjoyed this video, learning about this great Ukrainian artist and philosopher. I guess orcs have always been orcs. It's about time the world shows them their boundaries. Slava Ukraini

    Anna and Sasha, this is an excellent tutorial on your national poet!! It is unbelievable that, close to 200 years ago, he was persecuted for his thinking and actions in ways that resonate today! Thank you so much for this excellent labor of love!! Slava Ukraini!! Heroyam slava!! Heroyi ne vmyrayut'!!!!!

    Thank you, Anna. Great talk about a great hero. Shevchenko was also known for his beautiful singing voice as mentioned by his contemporaries. In Washington D.C. there is a wonderful statue of Shevchenko with his quote from one of his poems, "When will we (Ukraine) have our Washington." This was a statue the Ukrainian diaspora installed in 1964.

    Thank you for this amazing video, I think of Taras Shevchenko as the Ukrainian "Patrick Henry," who's battle cry was "Give me Liberty or give me Death!" Slava Ukrainia! I hope I can find a copy of his masterwork Kobzar. And yes, my parents named me after him.
