Snooker and other forms of emptiness

"So if you'd go a-marching
To Fortune or to Fame,
The safest way's to play the same old, same old game.

Hola!  Huzza!  Je ne sais pas!"

Some talking on the wall

“When the shades of twilight close the day in my solitude I steal away
And a sweet familiar voice calls from the shadows of the talking walls
The talking walls bring laughter tears and pain …”

(Jim Reeves in Talking walls)

Where silence seems to rest

"Beat! beat! drums! - blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows - through doors - burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation,
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet - no happiness must he have now with his bride ..."

(W. Whitman in Beat! beat! drums!)

Red bottles standing in line

"We will drink from God's bottles.
Apples are God's bottles: the sweet juice of the apple
God has placed in His own bottle.
What a beautiful rosy-red bottle it is!"

(G. Bachlund in the song God's bottles)

Rain drain

“The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.”

(R.L. Stevenson in Rain)
