Red & White on high heels

A red and white striped traffic barrier atop several concrete blocks

“‘Cause I’m full-grown with my high-heels on
Wanna chase me? Come on, like let’s go
Now don’t you wanna know, don’t you wanna know?
I think it’s time you be about it”

(Toni Braxton in Lookin’ at Me)

With a view of the tempting hills in the distance

An abandoned industrial area with a traffic mirror showing a view of hills

“From height of noon, remote and still
The sun shines on the empty hill.
No mist, no wind, above, below ;
No living thing strays to and fro.
No bird replies to bird on high,
Cleaving the skies with echoing cry. “

(W. de la Mare in The enchanted hill)

I write your name

A faded place-name sign with the name written in graffiti

“I write your name
Everywhere I go
Like a worn out code
Just to let you know”

(Jim Carroll Band in I write your name)

Just sitting here: no stopping!

A bench under a tree with traffic signs for no stopping

“A man was sitting underneath a tree
Outside the village, and he asked me what
Name was upon this place, and said that he
Was never here before. He told a lot
Of stories to me too.”

(James Stephen in Seumas Beg)

Nach ein paar Fässern Bier tanze ich mit dir!

” Komm mit, o Schöne, komm mit mir zum Tanze;
Tanzen gehöret zum festlichen Tag.
Bist du mein Schatz nicht, so kannst du es werden,
Wirst du es nimmer, so tanzen wir doch.”

(J.W. von Goethe in Wechsellied zum Tanze)
