Victor E. van Vriesland

He was literary and artistic journalist, editor of a weekly magazine.

From 1962 to 1965, van Vriesland was President of PEN International, the worldwide association of writers.

Van Vriesland writes as easily in French as in his native language and likes even the refinement of sintaxe and prosody: Te souviendra t-il de mon nom, de ma tendresse?

- Le vent qui bat ma fenetre sans cesse L'effacera.
