The turquoise shutters are still closed

"And the light crept up between the shutters
And you heard the sparrows in the gutters,
You had such a vision of the street
As the street hardly understands ..."

More then one hundred years

"A hundred years, a thousand years 
We are marching on the road. 
The going isn't easy yet, 
We've got a heavy load. 
  Oh - we've got a heavy load."

Window cat

   "Chat, chat, chat,
Chat noir, chat blanc, chat gris,
   Charmant chat couché,
   Chat, chat, chat
N'entends-tu pas les souris
Danser à trois les entrechats
   Sur le plancher?"

(A.J.L. Leclère in Chat, chat, chat)

Wo opens the blue door?

"Der Himmel öffnet die blaue Tür,
Da kommt gar schön gezieret
Ein Jungfräulein herfür.

Ihr leuchtet warmes zärtliches Haar,
Davon werden die Wege klar,
Und Segen kommt in das Jahr.”

( M. Dauthendey from Die ewige Hochzeit)

January 11, 2016 What has been left

The no-light door

“Strange, is it not, that of the myriads who
Before us pass’d the Door of Darkness through,
Not one returns to tell us of the Road
Which to discover we must travel too.”

(Hakim Omar Khayyám)
Heusden Zolder (B)
