= In the Flemish-Dutch monthly De Arbeid (year 4, no.6), a text/ poem "Mijmeringen van een kind" by J.B. Verschueren was published (dated 1901, Antwerp), without these illustrations. The drawings probably show a caricature of the author and illustrate the first part of the text, with the subtitle "Bij Zonne-ondergaan": (....) t is of ik staar in t groot bebloed gelaat van een het hoofd omwonden krijger [drawing II]. Nu drommen er hoog-verre, van bezijen, dik-donkere wolken aan die trage lang-zich-rekken naar omlage ter zonne toe. Loomlog lijken ze me als groote luie beesten die dom-weg vóór- zich-uit-en-stoeien, wrijvend met hun hooge ruggen over het mooie, stil-waterig bleek-groene gelochte dat ze somber vlekken [drawing III] (...) Nu zien zer wel uit lijk vervaarlike, reusachtige draken uit de mooie wondervertelsels, lijk leelike, booze monsters, die met groot-opene muilen de schoone, lieve zonne gulzig bedreigen . . . [drawing IV] Reeds bloost ze geweldig door in hunne schrikkelijke kaken die branden - en bloed lekt hen uit de muilen [drawing V]. Nu zie ik langzaam brokkelen hun groote koppen tot kleine verkoolde klompjes, die half-nog gloeien in het mooie stille zonnevuur (...) [drawing VI]".
