“… a chair is shaped for just one thing
to hold
a soul its quick and few bendable

perhaps a king
not to hold snow
not to hold flowers”

“One little beer can be alright,
One big black beer, or maybe a lite.
Two beers down you begin to glow,
And you’ll be singing, before you know.”
(J. Olivarez in Drinking beer)

"Days of joy, how have ye fled? Joy immortal, are ye dead? Is there nothing that can hold you? Can my limp arms not enfold you? Days of floating on the stream, Softly lapped as in a dream, With the white clouds swimming slowly In an ether pure and holy!" (A. Schaffer in A summer vacation) Wandre (B)

"Als Mahl beganns. Und ist ein Fest geworden, kaum weiß man wie. Die hohen Flammen flackten, die Stimmen schwirrten, wirre Lieder klirrten aus Glas und Glanz, und endlich aus den reifgewordnen Takten: entsprang der Tanz. Und alle riß er hin." (R.M. Rilke in Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke) Seraing (B)
