A yearning letterbox

A yearning letterbox

“This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me, –
The simple news that nature told,
With tender majesty.

Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!”

(E. Dickinson in This is my letter to the world)
Liège-Bressoux (B)

A gate to heaven

A gate to heaven

“O holy virgin! clad in purest white,
Unlock heaven’s golden gates, and issue forth;
Awake the dawn that sleeps in heaven; let light
Rise from the chambers of the east, and bring
The honey’d dew that cometh on waking day.”

(W. Blake in To Morning)
Liège-Bressoux (B)

Waiting for 2013

Waiting for 2013

“The end of the year fell chilly
Between a moon and a moon;
Thorough the twilight shrilly
The bells rang, ringing no tune.

The windows stained with story,
The walls with miracle scored,
Were full of weeping and laughter
And song and saying good-bye.”

(A.E. Housman in New Year’s Eve)
Eindhoven (NL)
