Devil’s Double

Devil's Double

"But now you are a devil and that is passing well,
For can I manage nothing else,
Then I can go to hell.
The Lord may keep his paradise,
May keep his angels too.
I only care for devils, when the devils are like you."

(O. Benzon in To a Devil)
Ougrée (B)

"Die Fenster klär' ich zum Feiertag,
Daß sich die Sonn' drin spiegeln mag,
Und klär' und denke gar mancherlei.
Da geht er stolz vorbei!"

(T. Ulrich unknown title)

Neue Topographie
“Aber der Weg zu dir ist furchtbar weit
und, weil ihn lange keiner ging, verweht.
O du bist einsam. Du bist Einsamkeit,
du Herz, das zu entfernten Talen geht.”

(R.M. Rilke in In tiefen Nächten grab ich dich, du Schatz)
Dalhem (B)

Drinking driving in decline

“They gave him dope to smoke, drinks and pills
A jeep to drive, blood to spill

They said “Congratulations, you got what it takes”
They sent him back into the rat race without any brakes

He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him
That’s what they did”

(Bob Dylan in Clean cut kid)
Sint-Pieters-Leeuw (B)
