The lazily lying industrial hall

“Here is that sleeping place,
Long resting place,
No stretching place,
That never-get-up-no-more
Place
Is here.”

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)

Entreprise du Bâtiment

“What are you able to build with your blocks?
Castles and palaces, temples and docks.
Rain may keep raining, and others go roam,
But I can be happy and building at home.”

(R.L. Stevenson in Block city)

The green garden hose waits lonely in a concrete wasteland

“Die Welt – ein Tor
Zu tausend Wüsten stumm und kalt!
Wer das verlor,
Was du verlorst, macht nirgends halt.”

(F.W. Nietzsche in Vereinsamt)

“One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee before I go
To the valley below”
