The 17th century Dutch moralist and poet Jacob Cats inspired us to write the following. It seemed to us a good introduction to our collection:


" To our visitors:
View this Site
as a wide and open field:
The cow will take its nourishing grass;
The bees its honey and its wax ,
The frog will find its succulent fly;
The stork a lizard for its meal,
The sow will dig up roots;
Humans their medicinal herbs,
The spider will devour its prey;
To each its own, such is the way. "
