“… Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I’m branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street’s too dead for dreaming.”

(Bob Dylan in Mr. Tabourine Man)

Lovesick

“I’m walking through streets that are dead
Walking, walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping.”

(Bob Dylan in Lovesick)

Roof train

“There is one in the railway-train whenever I do not want it near,
I see its profile against the pane, saying what I would not hear.”

(Thomas Hardy in Wessex Heights)

Le Cinéma

“Si nous étions des Artistes
Nous ne dirions pas le cinéma
Nous dirions le ciné

Mais si nous étions de vieux professeurs de province
Nous ne dirions ni ciné ni cinéma
Mais cinématographe

Aussi mon Dieu faut-il avoir du goût.”

(G. Apollinaire in Avant le Cinéma)

“The lamppost stands with folded arms
Its iron claws attached
To curbs ’neath holes where babies wail
Though it shadows metal badge
All and all can only fall
With a crashing but meaningless blow
No sound ever comes from the Gates of Eden.”

(Bob Dylan in the Gates of Eden)
