“At the age of thirty-seven she realised she’d never
ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she’d memorised in her daddy’s easy chair”
(Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show in The ballad of Lucy Jordan)

“I am moved by fancies that are curled
around these images, and cling:
the notion of some infinitely gentle
infinitely suffering thing.”
(T.S. Eliot in Prelude IV)

“He whom I enclose with my name is weeping in this dungeon.
I am ever busy building this wall all around;
and as this wall goes up into the sky day by day
I lose sight of my true being in its dark shadow.”
(R. Tagore in Gitanjali no. 29)

The creation of a wall
“When the creation was new
and all the stars shone in their first splendour,
the gods held their assembly in the sky and sang
‘Oh, the picture of perfection! the joy unalloyed!'”
(Rabindranath Tagore in Gitanjali no. 78)

You drive me so hard, almost to the grave …”
