Dacht even dat het het verhaal zou zijn over de ambtenaar en het epibreren. Maar dit is een ander. Ik ben wel benieuwd in hoe verre dit soort verhalen het beeld van de luie ambtenaar hebben versterkt. Dat beeld is, volgens mij nooit weggegaan.

Indrukwekkend. Net even wat over opgezocht, in de oorlogsjaren geschreven en in de verzetskrant Het Parool uitgegeven, en in 1946 opgenomen in "honderd dwaasheden". Eigenlijk nog maar zo kort geleden. En wat een ellende hebben de nazi's over nederland uitgestort, blijkt maar weer. Om met Willem Wilmink te eindigen: "En altijd als ik een schreeuwer zie met een alternatief voor de democratie, denk ik: jouw paradijs, hoeveel ruimte is daar, voor Ben Ali Libi, de goochelaar."

"The Raven" wasn't written by Edgar Allan Poe. He merely claimed authorship as a scam. The poem's premiere was submitted anonymously to "American Review" under the pseudonym "---- Quarles" by the true author, Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe, a critic for the NY "Evening Mirror," finding the poem in an advance copy of "American Review," scooped Mathew in his own paper by three days. Mathew had shared a copy of "The Raven" with Poe in early 1842, so Poe had a handwritten copy in his possession. This enabled him to convince his editor that he had permission to scoop "American Review"--but he mysteriously left the "Mirror" shortly afterwards (suggesting that he may have been fired for lying about it). It is the height of absurdity that the editor of a newly-launched monthly literary magazine like the "Review," would have given a daily newspaper this permission. The real author couldn't reveal his identity because of his anti-slavery work and connection with the Underground Railroad, and hence could not publicly defend himself. See my paper, "Evidence that Edgar Allan Poe Stole 'The Raven' from Mathew Franklin Whittier," which can be downloaded from the following link, or found by searching for the paper's title on Academia.edu. www.ial.goldthread.com/MFW_The_Raven.pdf
