Mechanical glance
"Schaust du mich aus deinen Augen
Lächelnd, wie aus Himmeln an,
Fühl ich wohl, daß keine Lippe
Solche Sprache führen kann."
(J. K. B. von Eichendorff in Der Blick)

Something to lean on
“‘Come, lean on me, ye that are weary!
Rise, ye faint-hearted and doubting!
Haste, ye that lag by the way!
I am Pride, the consoler;
Valour and Hope are my henchmen;
I am the Angel of Rest.”
(W.E. Henly from The book of verses)
Heusden-Zolder (B)
The wild wheel has been tamed
“‘Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel and lower the proud;
Turn thy wild wheel through sunshine, storm, and cloud;
Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate.”
(A. Tennyson from Enid and Nimuë: The True and the False)
Heusden-Zolder (B)
The wheel that has been going wild
“Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel, and lower the proud;
Turn thy wild wheel thro’ sunshine, storm, and cloud;
Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate.”
(A. Tennyson in Enid’s song)
Heusden-Zolder (B)
No more turning
“Because I cannot hope to turn again
Consequently I rejoice, having to construct something
Upon which to rejoice”
(T.S. Eliot in Ash-Wednesday)
