Der öde Garten

"Einsamer Garten,
Öde und leer,
Grämt dich das Warten?
Kommt sie nicht mehr?
Stehst so verstummet,
Sonneverbrannt,
Bienchen nur summet
Müde durchs Land."

(F. von Gerok in Der öde Garten)

“Irre im Garten”

“Zwar manche pflegen dort die Frühlingsbeete,
demütig, dürftig, hingekniet;
aber sie haben, wenn es keiner sieht,
eine verheimlichte, verdrehte

Gebärde für das zarte frühe Gras,
ein prüfendes, verschüchtertes Liebkosen …”

(R.M. Rilke)

“I got a start at Steelo’s, Me dad put in a word
His dad ‘ad done the same for ‘im, That’s how the work got shared
The mill roared like a dragon’s den, the Tongmen prove their power
Catchin’ white-hot metal comin’ 40 mile an hour.”

(John Tams in Steelos)

Belgian Pisa tower

“Pisa has a leaning tower
Will it ever fall?
The ocean has the fishes
London has a tower
In Holland they have windmills,
Lots of bikes, and pretty flowers
But where, where do they make balloons?”

(They Might Be Giants in Where Do They Make Balloons)

Clouds upon Clouds

“Clouds upon clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes here below
But nothing here can move me;
I cannot, I will not go.”
