Document Details : Title: 'Mi quam een schoon geluyt in mijn oren' Subtitle: Aantekeningen bij Suster Bertkens tweede lied Author(s): VAN BUUREN, A.M.J. Journal: Spiegel der Letteren Volume: 41 Issue: 2 Date: 1999 Pages: 83-101 DOI: 10.2143/SDL.41.2.630111 Abstract : Mi quam een schoon geluyt in mijn oren is one of the eight or nine ‘Lyedekens' (songs/poems) written by the Utrecht recluse Sister Bertken (1426/1427 - 1514). A careful analysis shows that the poem is soundly constructed and that Sister Bertken is very subtle in her choice and repetition of words, her biblical allusions and her inconspicuous references throughout the text. |
