But they got a lot of forks ’n’ knives
And they gotta cut somethin’”

“Armer Sünder, du,
Die Erde ist dein Schuh;
Mark und Blut,
Der Himmel ist dein Hut.
Fleisch und Bein
Sollen von dir gesegnet sein,
Du heilige Dreifaltigkeit
Von nun an bis in Ewigkeit!”

(Anton von Webern in Armer Sünder, du, op. 17 no. 1)

A freezing petrol station in the snow

“Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing the same bare place

For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.”

(W. Stevens in The snow man)
Schleiden (D)

Winter walks through an open gate

"Some, too fragile for winter winds
The thoughtful grave encloses --
Tenderly tucking them in from frost
Before their feet are cold."

(E. Dickinson in Some, too fragile ....)

September 20, 2018 What has been left

A chair in snow is always sad

“… a chair is shaped for just one thing

to hold
a soul its quick and few bendable
hours

perhaps a king

not to hold snow
not to hold flowers”

(J. Hirshfield in A chair in snow)
Liège (B)
