Black cat white snow

“Chat, chat, chat,
Chat noir, chat blanc, chat gris,
Charmant chat couché,
Chat, chat, chat
N’entends-tu pas les souris
Danser à trois les entrechats
Sur le plancher?”

(A.J.L. Leclère in Chanson du chat qui dort)

“We shall walk in velvet shoes:
Wherever we go
Silence will fall like dews
On white silence below.
We shall walk in the snow.”

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

Heer wees mij zondaar genadig

“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)
