The gates of surprise

“Here is the haven that lies
Close to the gates of surprise;
Here all like Paradise seems —
Here is the harbor of dreams.”

(F.D. Sherman in The harbor of dreams)

“Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm””

Bottle bank for a Liefmans

“The whole world’s a bottle,
And life’s but a dram,
When the bottle gets empty,
It sure ain’t worth a damn.”

The altar in silence

“No rapt priest bends in awe
Before its silent light:
But sometimes a flight
Of breathless words of prayer
White-wing’d enclose the altar,
Eddies of prayer.”

(W. Sharp in The valley of silence)
Wagnelée (B)

Silence of snow

“Out of the bosom of the air,
Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.”

(H.W. Longfellow in Snow-Flakes)
Valkenburg (NL)
