Carved into the pink granite stone of Amsterdam’s Homomonument, opened in 1987, are the words Naar vriendschap zulk een mateloos verlangen: « To friendship, oh such a limitless longing ». The words are taken from the poem « To a Young Fisherman », by the Dutch poet Jacob Israël de Haan, published posthumously in 1924. The Homomonument is a triangle that juts out into the Herengracht canal in the city center, a stone’s throw from the Anne Frank House.

If you’re anything like us at Web-Translations, then you’re probably a little bit flummoxed to learn that today is the first day of summer. Yes, it seems like yesterday when we were welcoming in the new year and making resolutions that we were confident we would keep. The year has flown by and whilst we might not have kept all of our resolutions (after all, who actually does?) we certainly have been working hard and been busy developing lots of exciting new projects.
