- "Dirc Potter's main work was a long poem in four parts, Der Minnen Loep (The Course of Love). It is a poem that belongs to the same family as John Gower's Confessio Amantis, written about thirty years earlier. It is also related, but more distantly, to the Decameron and the Canterbury Tales, although Potter had probably never heard of any of these books. Like Gower's poem, Der Minnen Loep is a compilation of stories illustrating various aspects of love. The first part deals with what he calls ‘silly love’, passionate love unchecked by reason, demonstrated by the case-histories of Jason and Medea, Paris and Helen, and others."--Literature of the Low Countries, A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium, Reinder P. Meijer[1]

De mens laat de ware aard van zijn wezen zien in zijn angsten en verlangens. Toon mij waar hij bang voor is, toon mij wat hem opwindt, ik zal u zeggen wie hij is. –Sholem Stein.
