Zevenberger-Tilburg
When you were eleven, you were enrolled in a small Protestant boarding school
in Zevenberger... M. Provily runs that little school of 24 children...
You are sad, you feel rejected...Your brothers and sisters stay at home. “
my life is as useless as when I went to school where I didn’t learn anything”...
Then you are enrolled at Tilburg, a rich institution, located in a beautiful
Palace. There is a good teacher of drawing who helped you make your first
copies... After spending your first year there and getting good marks, you
no longer go to the secondary school...Why?
Did your parents have money problems? And you go back to Zundert where you
are going to spend one year and a half at home...
What for? A job is sought for you...
