The framed deer

“The wild deer, wand’ring here and there,
Keeps the human soul from care.
The lamb misus’d breeds public strife,
And yet forgives the butcher’s knife.”

(William Blake, no title in Auguries of Innocence, no. 7)

The farmer who produces solar energy

A farm with a roof covered with solar panels

“Even as thou, have I wandered
Over the earth and the ocean,
Pondering many things deeply,
Now I lie down in the sunshine.”

The correct time since 1875

A sundial on the facade of a building from 1875

“Time is on my side, yes it is
You’re searching for good times
But just wait and see …..”

The sleeping swimming pool

The facade of an abandoned swimming pool

“Es lächelt der See, er ladet zum Bade,
Der Knabe schlief ein am grünen Gestade,
Da hört er ein Klingen,
Wie Flöten so süß,
Wie Stimmen der Engel
Im Paradies.”

(Fr. von Schiller in Fischerknabe)

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)
