"Picture and text are showing the transitory character of reality"
“So laßt mich blühen still allein
Wie’s Veilchen auf der Au,
Das kennet nur der Sonnenschein
Und nur des Himmels Thau.
Denn wenn ihr mich ans Fenster stellt,
Wo andre Blumen stehn —
O weh, am Schimmer hangt die Welt!
Dann ist’s um mich geschehn.”
(August H. Hoffmann von Fallersleben in Sängers Wunsch)
Verviers (B)
“I know well he will not glance up once at my window;
I know he will pass out of my sight in the twinkling of an eye;
only the vanishing strain of the flute
will come sobbing to me from afar.
But the young Prince will pass by our door,
and I will put on my best for the moment.”
(R. Tagore in O mother, the young Prince is to pass by …)
Verviers (B)
