“Essen, trinken, das erhält den Leib
‘s ist doch mein liebster Zeitvertreib,
das Essen und Trinken.
Labt mich Speis und Trank nicht mehr,
dann ade, dann Welt, gute Nacht!”

(Possibly by W.A. Mozart, K. 234)

Water tap for a wall garden

“A Sensitive Plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
And closed them beneath the kisses of night.”

(P.B. Shelley in The sensitive plant)

Where has the pedestrian gone?

“But as some folks ain’t got no road at all
They gotta stand in the same old place
Hey, hey, so I guess I’m doin’ fine”

(Bob Dylan in Guess’ I’m doing fine)

“Beauty be not caused, – it is;
Chase it and it ceases,
Chase it not and it abides,
Overtake the creases
in the meadow
when the wind
runs its long fingers through it?
Deity will see to it
that you never do it.”

(E. Dickinson in Beauty is not caused, -it is)

Rue de l’enfer

“Oh threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain — This Life flies:
One thing is certain and the rest is lies;
The Flower that once is blown for ever dies.”

(E. Fitzgerald in Oh threads of Hell …)
