“The houses put their heads together, Talking, perhaps, so dark and sly, Of all the folk they’d seen go by, Children, and men and women, merry all, Who’d some day pass that way to burial.”
(J. Masefield in The Everlasting Mercy) Herstal (B)
"Ihr lieben Mauern hold und traut,
Die ihr mich kühl umschließt,
Und silberglänzend niederschaut,
Wenn droben Vollmond ist!"
(J.G. Seidl in Am Fenster)Grâce-Hollogne (B)
“Beauty is but a painted hell : Aye me, aye me, Shee wounds them that admire it, Shee kils them that desire it. Giue her pride but fuell, No fire is more cruell.”
(Thomas Campion in Beauty is but a painted hell) Liège (B)
