Very long wait for a telephone contact

“Long-distance operator
Please, place this call, you know it’s not for fun
I gotta get a message to my baby
You know, she’s not just anyone”

(Bob Dylan in Long distance operator)

Where Beethoven visited a tearoom

“Sie saßen und tranken am Teetisch
Und sprachen von Liebe viel.
Die Herren, die waren ästhetisch,
Die Damen von zartem Gefühl.”

(H. Heine in Lyrisches Intermezzo, no. 50)

“At the hole where he went in
Red-Eye called to Wrinkle-Skin.
Hear what little Red-Eye saith:
‘Nag, come up and dance with death!'”

“Und unstet wehn und irren, dem Chaos gleich,
Dem gärenden Geschlechte die Wünsche nach,
Und wild ist und verzagt und kalt von
Sorgen das Leben der Armen immer.”

(F. Hölderlin)

I’m the light that’s guiding you!

“Sail on!” it says, “sail on, ye stately ships!
And with your floating bridge the ocean span;
Be mine to guard this light from all eclipse,
Be yours to bring man nearer unto man!”

(H.W. Longfellow in The lighthouse)
