The industry has left this place… a place to be!

“He stayed behind the assembly hall
It was there he made his bed
Oftentimes he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared
With a note in his hand which read
“The soles of my feet, I swear they’re burning””

(Bob Dylan in The wicked messenger)
Orp-Jauche (B)

A geometric meeting between an industrial hall and a landscaped garden

“What are you lookin’ at – there’s nothing to see
Just a cool breeze encircling me
Let’s walk in the garden – so far and so wide
We can sit in the shade by the fountain side”

(Bob Dylan in False Prophet)

Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same”

No feet but a cold wind for these shoes

“Life in her creaking shoes
Goes, and more formal grows,
A round of calls and cues:
Love blows as the wind blows.”
