“Wie bin ich froh!
noch einmal wird mir alles grün und leuchtet so!
noch überblühn die Blumen mir die Welt!
noch einmal bin ich ganz ins Werden hingestellt
und bin auf Erden.”
(Anton von Webern in the song “Wie bin ich froh”)
Orp-Jauche (B)
A geometric meeting between an industrial hall and a landscaped garden
Where’s the beauty here?
Brocante or anything you don’t need
“Little things that no one needs —
Little things to joke about —
Little landscapes, done in beads.
Little morals, woven out,
Little wreaths of gilded grass,
Little brigs of whittled oak
Bottled painfully in glass;
These are made by lonely folk.
Lonely folk have lines of days
Long and faltering and thin;
Therefore — little wax bouquets,
Prayers cut upon a pin,
Little maps of pinkish lands,
Little charts of curly seas,
Little plats of linen strands,
Little verses, such as these.”
(Dorothy Parker in Bric-A-Brac)
