Crossing in trouble

“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 Ain’t talkin’)
Lanaken (B)

Fallen ropes

"And there the pearl-ropes fall like shawls
With a noise like marine waterfalls.
And "Another little drink
wouldn't do us any harm"
Pierces through the sabbatical calm.
And that is the place for me!"

(E. Sitwell in Scotch rhapsody)
Seraing (B)

Blow that trumpet

“At the round earth’s imagined corners, blow
Your trumpets, angels, and arise
From death, you numberless infinities …”

Closing doors

“Come home, come home, for closing doors are like the waves of the sea;
once closed, they are closed forever, ….”

“We do not play on graves
because there isn’t room.
Besides it isn’t even.
It slants and people come
and put a flower on it
and hang their faces so.
We’re fearing that their hearts
will drop and crush our pretty play.
And so we move as far as enemies away,
just looking round to see
how far it is occasionally.”

(E. Dickinson in We do not play on graves)
