The windowless window

“The moon comes every night to peep
Through the window where I lie,
And I pretend to be asleep ;
But I watch the moon as it goes by,
And it never makes a sound.”

(J. Stephens in The white window)

Going up and down the stairs

“Die Trepp’ hinunter geschwungen
Komm’ ich in vollem Lauf,
Die Trepp’ empor gesprungen
Kommt er und fängt mich auf:
Und wo die Treppe so dunkel ist,
Haben wir vielmal uns geküßt,
Und Niemand hat’s gesehen.”

This crane has been retired for a long time

Where can we find the crane that can lift the burden of this time?

Where the worker’s song once sounded

“I passed by your window
When the morning was red,
The dew on the rosebud,
The lark overhead,
And oh! I sang softly,
Though no one could hear,
To bid you good morning,
Good morning, my dear.”

(H. Taylor in I passed by your window)

The Spider as an Artist

“The Spider as an Artist
Has never been employed –
Though his surpassing Merit
Is freely certified

By every Broom and Bridget
Throughout a Christian Land –
Neglected Son of Genius,
I take thee by the Hand.”

(E. Dickinson, no title)
