| Abstract: | Even after his farmstead had been burned to the ground, His wife and oxen murdered, The Farmer put on the harness and put himself in front of the plough. And the Farmer kept on ploughing. This iconic stanza from the Dutch poem titled “Ballad of the Farmer”, written by J.W.F Werumeus Buning in 1935, epitomizes the theme of this publication – Rapture: A Historical Perspective. The poem highlights the microcosm of the farming world as it draws our attention to the ruptures experienced by the farmer. Although it is within human nature not to react favourably to moments of sudden change, the farmer continues to plough. |
