“Und unstet wehn und irren, dem Chaos gleich,
Dem gärenden Geschlechte die Wünsche nach,
Und wild ist und verzagt und kalt von
Sorgen das Leben der Armen immer.”

(F. Hölderlin)

Cheek to cheek in Rotterdam

Cheek to cheek in Rotterdam
“I like to spend some time in Mozambique
The sunny sky is aqua blue
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek
It’s very nice to stay a week or two.”

(Bob Dylan in Mozambique)
Rotterdam (NL)

High heat “The air is getting hotter
There’s a rumbling in the skies
I’ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before …”

(Bob Dylan in Trying to get to heaven)

A lonely mill sees the coming cranes

"Die Mühle, die dreht ihre Flügel,
Der Sturm, der sauset darin,
Und unter der Linde am Hügel,
Da weinet die Müllerin..."

(A. von Chamisso in Die Müllerin)
Rotterdam (NL)
