The industry has left this place… a place to be!

“He stayed behind the assembly hall
It was there he made his bed
Oftentimes he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared
With a note in his hand which read
“The soles of my feet, I swear they’re burning””

(Bob Dylan in The wicked messenger)
Orp-Jauche (B)

The door to darkness

“Aber die Dunkelheit hält alles an sich:
Gestalten und Flammen, Tiere und mich,
wie sie’s errafft,
Menschen und Mächte. –“

(R.M. Rilke in Das Buch vom mönchischen Leben)

We are the army of the roll containers

“I hear an army charging upon the land,
And the thunder of horses plunging, foam about their knees:
Arrogant, in black armour, behind them stand,
Disdaining the reins, with flutt’ring whips, the charioteers.”

(James Joyce in Chamber Music, no. 36)
‘s-Hertogenbosch (NL)

The Joy of the Jubilant Wheelbarrow

“A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness …”

(J. Keats in Endymion no.1)
Limbourg (B)
