The bridge that will never arrive a road again

“I wish I could walk for a day and a night,
And find me at dawn in a desolate place,
With never the rut of a road in sight,
Or the roof of a house, or the eyes of a face.”

(E. St. Vincent Millay in Departure)

Where the track lost its bridge

“The trail is dusty
And my road it might be rough
But the better roads are waiting
And boys it ain’t far off”

Where a railroad bridge finds its end

“Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
I’ll burn that bridge before you can cross
Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
They’ll be no mercy for you once you’ve lost“

(Bob Dylan in Aint’t Talkin’)

Some red spots in a dry emptiness

“Here is no water but only rock
Rock and no water and the sandy road
The road winding above among the mountains
Which are mountains of rock without water
If there were water we could stop and drink …”

(T.S. Eliot in The Waste Land)

Bridge under troubled clouds

“The shadow of the coming rain is on the sands,
and the clouds hang low upon the blue lines of the trees
like the heavy hair above your eyebrows.
I know well the rhythm of your steps,
they are beating in my heart.”

(R. Tagore from The gardener)
Gosselies (B)
