gates - the fleeting world; bubbles in a stream

September 30, 2024 What has been left

Fallen from the table

“Am Tische war noch ein Plätzchen,
Mein Liebchen, da hast du gefehlt.
Du hättest so hübsch, mein Schätzchen,
Von deiner Liebe erzählt.”

Does anyone want to enter here at all?

“O enter with me the gates of delight,
The gates of the garden of man’s desire,
Where spirits, touched by heav’nly fire,
Have planted the trees of life.”

(R.S. Bridges no title in Invocation to music)

People dream of a driveway here for too long

“Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow. “

(J.M. Langston Hughes in Dreams)
Lontzen (B)

The flowers that try to comfort the tears

“Aus meinen Tränen sprießen
Viel blühende Blumen hervor,
Und meine Seufzer werden
Ein Nachtigallenchor.”

(H. Heine in Lyrisches Intermezzo no. 2)

3 gates for 1 thief

“An inconstant lover is worse than a thief;
For a thief will but rob you and take all you have,
But an inconstant lover will bring you to the grave.”

( G.S.K. Butterworth in The cuckoo)
Dison (B)
