2 black eyes with view on Tata Steel

“A glance from a dark eye
opened its way into my heart
like a ray of sun that shines
through the fog of the day.”

(M. Palazzolo in Un guardo ed una voce; translation in English by John Glenn)

Points de Secours: up into heaven!

“1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD,
which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.”

(Psalm 120/121)

The silent chimney from a blast furnace

“Wie ein vulkanischer Berg lag er im Weiten. Manchmal
flammend. Manchmal im Rauch. Traurig und göttlich.
Nur eine nahe vielleicht, ihm anliegende Ortschaft
bebte.”

(R.M. Rilke in Fünf Gesänge)

2018 in the trash and then towards 2019

2019 will lead us to the “Bureau Chef de Pause”!
What a comforting thought.
All the best for your next year!

Rusty structures in a landscape

"Man passes down the way of years,
And ruins mark his trail;
He buildeth and the hand of time
Wipes out his structures frail."
