Last work, first green
“Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.”
(R. Frost in Nothing gold can stay)

Dreams on a wall
"And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose slowly, slowly,
Dimming,
Hiding,
The light of my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky,
The wall."
(J.M. Langston Hughes in As I grew older)

Test screen
“Ich kann mich gar nicht entscheiden
Ist alles so schön bunt hier
Ich glotz TV (sie glotzt TV)
Ich glotz TV (sie glotzt TV)”
(Nina Hagen in TV-Glotzer)

BigMat … Bienvenue!
“Hör’ ich das Pförtchen nicht gehen?
Hat nicht der Riegel geklirrt?
Nein, es war des Windes Wehen,
Der durch die Pappeln schwirrt.”
(F. von Schiller in Die Erwartung)

A freezing petrol station in the snow
“Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.”
(W. Stevens in The snow man)
