The wheel that has been going wild

“Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel, and lower the proud;
Turn thy wild wheel thro’ sunshine, storm, and cloud;
Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate.”

(A. Tennyson in Enid’s song)
Heusden-Zolder (B)

A stairway into the shattered

“Es ist alles vollzählig, kann ich dir versichern, auch das Zerbrochene, auch die Asche im Herd, auch die Kartoffelschalen. Und das Krachen im Holz und die Finsternis unter der Treppe und alles, was nur hereingeht.”

(R.M. Rilke in Gewitter Gewitter (B)
Maasmechelen (B)

In the bordertowns of despair …”

From the theatre of killing

"Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have sat us down to wet 
Right many a nipperkin!

But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place."

(Th. Hardy from Time's Laughingstocks and Other Verses)
Eben-Emael (B)
