... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Does "schlechtvalk" literally translate as "bad falcon"? Or???  It looks like a peregrine falcon...I think....lots of birds out there!

PD

De slechtvalk is indeed a Falco peregrinus.  The (now obsolete) word "slecht" in slechtvalk, means "simpel" (cfr. German "schlicht"). It still can be found in the word "slechts" which means...simply, only..).

Slecht is also "bad" .Etymology:
From an earlier meaning of "simple, ordinary, inferior, plain", from Middle Dutch slecht ("smooth, flat"), from Old Dutch *sleht, from Proto-Germanic *slihtaz.

(Robinsonade! a new word for me!)
