The battlefield is waiting for the fighters

“summer grass!
in the wake of dreams
of legion warriors”

If there were dreams to sell, what would you buy?

"A cottage lone and still,
With bowers nigh,
Shadowy, my woes to still,
Until I die."

(Brian Holmes in Dream-Pedlary)

Seats of honour

“Farewell, my joy!
Adieu, my love and pleasure!
To sport and toy
We have no longer leisure.
Fa la la!

Farewell, adieu
Until our next consorting!
Sweet love, be true!
And thus we end our sporting.
Fa la la!”

(From Lyrics from the Song-Books of the Elizabethan Age)

Solar energy meets past cooling

“So gleams the past, the light of other days,
Which shines, but warms not with its powerless rays;
A nightbeam Sorrow watcheth to behold,
Distinct, but distant – clear – but, oh how cold!”

(Lord Byron from Hebrew melodies no. 24)

Eyes above the water

"Eyes like a little limpid pool
that holds a sunset sky,
While on its surface calm and cool,
blue water lilies lie."

(L. Hope in Indian's love lyrics)
Verviers (B)
