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.”

(Langston Hughes in Grave yard)

Has the hermit left the industrial landscape?

“Ah! To be all alone in a little cell with nobody near me;
beloved that pilgrimage before the last pilgrimage to Death.”

“Imagination is more important than Knowledge”: Do you see the ship?

“Our knowledge is a torch of smoky pine
That lights the pathway but one step ahead
Across a void of mystery and dread.”

(G. Santayana in Sonnets and other verses)

Nobody sittin’ on the bench waiting for a fight in the Fight Club

“And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.”

(Country Joe and the fish in Vietnam Song)

Overwhelming power

“Without delay, without haste
We would build the beginning and the end of this street.
We build the meaning:
A Church for all
And a job for each
Each man to his work.”

(T.S. Eliot in The Rock)
