"And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before The Tavern shouted -- "Open then the Door! "You know how little while we have to stay, "And, once departed, may return no more."" (Based on a Persian text by Hakim Omar Khayyám) Genk (B)
Colourful meeting at a former mining site
An empty storage rack but stars and dreams on the wall
Hopeless sadness in a green oasis
The joy of animals in the middle of demolition
"I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd,
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God..."
(W. Whitman in Song of Myself, no. 32)
