What a joy it can be to renovate
"All are architects of Fate,
Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest."
(H.W. Longfellow in The builders)

Is this the door where my dearest lives?
“Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door
Don’t turn away, you’ll create sorrow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow”
(Bob Dylan in Oh, Sister)

Renovation blues
“I shall not feel at Home – I know –
I don’t like Paradise –
Because it’s Sunday – all the time –
And Recess – never comes –
And Eden’ll be so lonesome…”
(E. Dickinson in I never felt at Home …)

Last train
“There’s an iron train a-travelin’ that’s been a-rollin’ through the years
With a firebox of hatred and a furnace full of fears
If you ever heard its sound or seen its blood-red broken frame
Then you heard my voice a-singin’ and you know my name.”
(Bob Dylan in Train A-Travelin’)

Black box
“She’s an artist, she don’t look back
She can take the dark out of the nighttime
And paint the daytime black”
(Bob Dylan in She belongs to me)
