The forms that once have been
“This is the place. Stand still, my steed,
Let me review the scene,
And summon from the shadowy Past
The forms that once have been.
The Past and Present here unite
Beneath Time’s flowing tide,
Like footprints hidden by a brook,
But seen on either side.”
(H.W. Longfellow in A gleam of sunshine)

OUT!
“Don’t like those wheelchairs
Wanna push ’em down the stairs
They get in my way
They make the government pay
They run into me …”

It is in the air
“Because these wings are no longer wings to fly
But merely vans to beat the air
The air which is now thoroughly small and dry
Smaller and dryer than the will
Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still.”
(T.S. Eliot in Ash-Wednesday 1930)

Cut off and 2 times connected
“There’s a big achin’ hole in my chest now where my heart was
And a hole in the sky where God used to be.”

When a game is over
"When children are playing alone on the green, In comes the playmate that never was seen. When children are happy and lonely and good, The Friend of the Children comes out of the wood." (J. Stevenson in When children are playing alone ...) Ivoz-Ramet (B)
