Facade lift

Façade lift

“”She made it all seem so tawdry and cheap
“Oh, let’s be nice, Mama, open up your gifts
You know, happiness is the best facelift””

Some colour in my street

“”What shall I bring you
Then? Will black do
Best for your wearing
The long day through?”
” – Black is for mourning,
Mourning, mourning,
Black is for mourning,
And black will do. – ““

(Thomas Hardy in The colour)

Coming home

"There is many a step goes lighter, coming home;
There is many an eye grows brighter, coming home.
All the way seems to remind you
Of sweet memories that bind you
To dear distant days behind you, coming home!"

(D. Eardley-Wilmot in Coming home)

Garden decoration

"The old tower shrined in golden light
Looks down on the descending sun
So gently evening blends with night
You scarce could say that day is done."

(E. Brontë in Fair sinks the summer evening now)

All kind of doors but all closed

"In diesem Dorfe steht das letzte Haus
so einsam wie das letzte Haus der Welt.

Die Straße, die das kleine Dorf nicht hält,
geht langsam weiter in die Nacht hinaus."

(R.M. Rilke in Das Dorf)
Ombret (B)
