“Life in her creaking shoes
Goes, and more formal grows,
A round of calls and cues:
Love blows as the wind blows.”
(W.E. Henley no title, A book of verses)
Chaudfontaine (B)
I slept in a blue bed
“Ach, in diesen blauen Tagen,
Die so licht und sonnig fließen,
Welch ein inniges Genießen,
Welche stillverklärte Ruh’!
Heiter ist das Blut gezügelt,
Leichter Schlaf und klarer Morgen
Wissen nichts von bangen Sorgen,
Und die Seele schweift beflügelt
Jeder lieben Stelle zu.”
(E. von Geibel in Juniuslieder)
Seraing (B)
It is here where we will meet again
RTBF: Black and white television
“Oh, set me down on a television floor
I’ll flip the channel to number four
Out of the shower comes a grown-up man
With a bottle of hair oil in his hand
(It’s that greasy kid stuff
What I want to know, Mr. Football Man, is
What do you do about Willy Mays and Yul Brynner
Charles de Gaulle
And Robert Louis Stevenson?)”
(Bob Dylan in I shall be free)
