If there were dreams to sell, what would you buy?

"A cottage lone and still,
With bowers nigh,
Shadowy, my woes to still,
Until I die."

Even the door to the toilet is open

"Fair the day shine as it shone on my childhood -
Fair shine the day on the house with open door;
Birds come and cry there and twitter in the chimney -
But I go for ever and come again no more."

(R.L. Stevenson in Songs of travel and other verses no. 16)
Liège (B)

If you’re looking for a window …

“Build me a cabin in Utah
Marry me a wife, catch rainbow trout
Have a bunch of kids who call me “Pa”
That must be what it’s all about
That must be what it’s all about”

(Bob Dylan in Sign on the window)
Limbourg (B)

Ohne Briefe, ohne Tauben

“Deine Briefe kamen von Süden,
warm noch von Sonne, aber verwaist, –
endlich bist du selbst deinen müden
bittenden Briefen nachgereist …”

(R.M. Rilke in Requiem)
Bierset (B)

Clung to the bridge

“Walkin’ on the footbridge high above the clouds
Listenin’ to your yesterday, didn’t make a sound
And dazzled by your sweet lips and touchin’ on me
Here comes trouble, can’t you see?”

(The cars in Go away)
Flemalle (B)
