They tried an amputation but the industry died

“I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
So I’m going
I’m going
I’m gone”

(Bob Dylan in Going, Going, Gone)

Where the demolition workers are slowly approaching

“Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken”

(Bob Dylan in Everything is broken)

“The brain is wider than the sky,
For, put them side by side,
The one the other will include
With ease, and you beside.”

The path into a lost industry

“Der wahre Weg geht über ein Seil
das nicht in der Höhe gespannt
ist, sondern knapp über dem Boden. Es scheint mehr bestimmt,
stolpern zu machen, als begangen zu werden.”

(F. Kafka in Fragmente)

The ship of industry is stranded

“Boats sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier far than these.”

(Chr. G. Rossetti no title in Sing-Song: a nursery rhyme book)
