Prepared by Jeroen Hellingman and the PG Distributed Proofreaders Team. Gemaakt door Jeroen Hellingman en het PG gedistribueerd proeflees team "Van 't viooltje dat weten wilde" by Marie Marx-Koning is a fictional tale likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a small blue violet, curious about the world around it, and its poignant conversations with a wise but somewhat cynical frog. Their dialogues explore themes of existence, knowledge, and the nature of happiness, particularly through the violet’s yearning for understanding and connection with the beautiful Woman who passes by. The opening of the work introduces the violet in a tranquil forest setting, where it begins to contemplate its existence amid towering pine trees. As twilight approaches, the violet experiences fear and loneliness, but finds solace in the presence of a curious frog. Their exchanges reveal the violet's naiveté and its fascination with the world, especially the mysterious human beings it observes. The dialogue flows into deeper existential questions, with the violet frequently asking "why," much to the irritation of the frog. This sets the stage for a delicate exploration of innocence versus wisdom, as the two characters navigate their understanding of a complex world, hinting at broader themes of life, love, and loss.
