Sunrise over the River Adur

Kolya, the young grandson of Samuel Quinine, has discovered the art of graffiti. He is currently scribbling his impression of sunrise over the River Adur. Unfortunately he is doing this on the original manuscript of the prose poem 'De bloem mei en de vlinder' by the Flemish poet Septimal Spanswick. Kolya's grandfather, has discovered that the roots of the poem lie in the medieval literature of the Burgundian Netherlands (Bourgondische Nederlanden in Flemish) an area which covers a number of Imperial and French fiefdoms ruled in personal union by the House of Valois-Burgundy and their Habsburg heirs in the period from 1384 to 1482. (Today that area covers large parts of Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and parts of northern France).
