Anne de Vries

Anne de Vries (May 22, 1904 – November 29, 1964) was a Dutch teacher and author. In the Netherlands he became particularly famous for his novels.

De Vries was born in Assen. He was married to Alida Gerdina van Wermeskerken; the couple had five children. In 1972, de Vries got national recognition when his novel Bartje was made into a television series by Willy van Hemert. Bartje subsequently became the symbol of the Dutch province Drenthe. De Vries died, aged 60, in Zeist.

De Vries wrote regional novels, most famously the coming-of-age novel Bartje and Bartje Seeks Happiness. He also wrote Journey Through the Night, a children's book about World War II published in four volumes (first in 1951, last in 1958). The books on Bartje can be considered Bildungsromans.

    Missing Link

    by: Antifreeze

    I'm working from 9 until 5, I'm working just to stay alive
    I don't know what's wrong with me
    I have no clue what you are about to do, I have this thing and it's for you
    And driving me insane
    Last night I talked to you for a while, i was intrigued about your style
    You hammered me away
    I can't speak clearly I can't think, I thought I was the missing link,
    That would put together the chain
    I thought I was your missing link
    But now I know I was so wrong
    I thought I was your missing link
    I'm working from 5 until 1, I'm working just to supply my lungs
    With all the smoke they need
    I have no clue when I am going to die, I hope it's when I'm really high
    So I can jump the plane
    This plane will take me to your heart someday so then I can be with you
    In my own little way
