Liège-Montegnée (B)
The forms that once have been
“This is the place. Stand still, my steed,
Let me review the scene,
And summon from the shadowy Past
The forms that once have been.
The Past and Present here unite
Beneath Time’s flowing tide,
Like footprints hidden by a brook,
But seen on either side.”
(H.W. Longfellow in A gleam of sunshine)
Zaandijk (NL)
O, praise the Lord!
“O praise the Lord, for it is a good thing
to sing praises unto our God;
yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful.
O let your songs be of him and praise him,
and let your talking be of all his wondrous works.
Remember the marvellous works that he hath done,
his wonders and the judgements of his mouth.”
(Song by Walter Porter)
