On touche du bois pour que votre année soit douce

“Wie bin ich froh!
noch einmal wird mir alles grün und leuchtet so!
noch überblühn die Blumen mir die Welt!
noch einmal bin ich ganz ins Werden hingestellt
und bin auf Erden.”

(Anton von Webern in the song “Wie bin ich froh”)

A geometric meeting between an industrial hall and a landscaped garden

“What are you lookin’ at – there’s nothing to see
Just a cool breeze encircling me
Let’s walk in the garden – so far and so wide
We can sit in the shade by the fountain side”

(Bob Dylan in False Prophet)

No one to turn the wheel

“And the wheels keep turning, all the time,
No mechanical churning, not a sound,
Just a feeling of stirring, hold them down, hold them down, hold them down.”

(Tony Banks in And the Wheel Keeps Turning)

The evolution from pet to church animal

“Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago”

(Bob Dylan in Man gave names to all the animals)

Where’s the beauty here?

“Where is beauty?
Gone, gone:
The cold winds have taken it
With their faint moan;
The white stars have shaken it,
Trembling down,
Into the pathless deeps of the sea.
Gone, gone
Is beauty from me.”

(Walter De la Mare in The song of the secret)
