"Warte, warte, wilder Schiffsmann,
gleich folg' ich zum Hafen dir;
von zwei Jungfraun nehm' ich Abschied,
von Europa und von ihr."

Cheek to cheek in Rotterdam

Cheek to cheek in Rotterdam
“I like to spend some time in Mozambique
The sunny sky is aqua blue
And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek
It’s very nice to stay a week or two.”

(Bob Dylan in Mozambique)

Overwhelmed by modernism

"Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,
when my heart is overwhelmed: 
lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

(M. Kilstofte in Centone)
Rotterdam (NL)

A lonely mill sees the coming cranes

"Die Mühle, die dreht ihre Flügel,
Der Sturm, der sauset darin,
Und unter der Linde am Hügel,
Da weinet die Müllerin..."

(A. von Chamisso in Die Müllerin)
