The windowless window

“The moon comes every night to peep
Through the window where I lie,
And I pretend to be asleep ;
But I watch the moon as it goes by,
And it never makes a sound.”

(J. Stephens in The white window)

Going up and down the stairs

“Die Trepp’ hinunter geschwungen
Komm’ ich in vollem Lauf,
Die Trepp’ empor gesprungen
Kommt er und fängt mich auf:
Und wo die Treppe so dunkel ist,
Haben wir vielmal uns geküßt,
Und Niemand hat’s gesehen.”

(E.F. Gruppe, no title)

The smokeless chimney next to an empty water tower

“Men make them fires on the hearth
Each under his roof-tree,
And the Four Winds that rule the earth
They blow the smoke to me.”

Where the waiting takes its time

“I shall meet you in the morning,
When at last shall rise the sun;
And the waiting and the longing,
And the wearying are done.
Though the way be through the shadow,
And the eventide be long,
I shall meet you in the morning
In the land of light and song.”

(E.M. Chesham in I shall meet you)

Could there be elephants here?

“A tail behind, a trunk in front,
Complete the usual elephant.
The tail in front, the trunk behind,
Is what you very seldom find.”

(A.E. Housman in The force of habit)
