Pour Dames

"I love my lady's eyes 
Above the beauties rare 
She most is wont to prize, 
Above her sunny hair, 
And all that face to face
Her glass repeats of grace."

(R.S. Bridges in Song)
Liège (B)

The door-less door

Knock on the door, and you shall have an answer!
Open the heavy walls to set me free,
And blow a horn to call me into the sunlight,
And startled then what a strange thing you shall see!

(Conrad Aiken in Knock on the door)
Herstal (B)

Looking through hollow windows

“There’s no glass in the window,
There’s no wood in the door;
The heather grows behind the house,
And the sand lies before.
No hand hath trained the ivy,
The walls are gray and bare …”

(M.Coleridge in The deserted house)

The lonely flowerpot

“The odour from the flower is gone
Which like thy kisses breathed on me;
The colour from the flower is flown
Which glowed of thee and only thee!”

(P.B. Shelley in On a faded violet)
Ivoz-Ramet (B)

“Hat denn für sie die Erde keinen Raum?
Wen sucht der Wind? Wer trinkt des Baches Helle?
Ist in der Teiche tiefem Ufertraum
kein Spiegelbild mehr frei für Tür und Schwelle?
Sie brauchen ja nur eine kleine Stelle,
auf der sie alles haben wie ein Baum.”

(R.M. Rilke in Nur nimm sie wieder aus der Städte Schuld)
Poulseur (B)
