The smokeless chimney next to an empty water tower

“Men make them fires on the hearth
Each under his roof-tree,
And the Four Winds that rule the earth
They blow the smoke to me.”

The tower of the water

"Des Menschen Seele
Gleicht dem Wasser:
Vom Himmel kommt es,
Zum Himmel steigt es,
Und wieder nieder
Zur Erde muß es,
Ewig wechselnd."

(J.W. von Goethe in Gesang der Geister über den Wassern)

You left me standing out in the cold …”

I do see a tree!

“If I could find a higher tree
Farther and farther I should see,
To where the grown-up river slips
Into the sea among the ships ….”

Stopping prohibition and a water tower

“There will be quiet open spaces,
and shady towers sweet with bells,
and quiet folks with quiet faces,
walking among these miracles.”

(H. Wolfe in The dream-city)
