“O enter with me the gates of delight”


” 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.
While we slept in terror of night,
Laden with sorrows, chained and dumb;
Suddenly, while we slept, our heav’n is come.”

(R.S. Bridges, no title in Invocation to Music)

The futility of a turnstile


“Chemins qui ne mènent nulle part
entre deux prés,
que l’on dirait avec art
de leur but détournés,

chemins qui souvent n’ont
devant eux rien d’autre en face
que le pur espace
et la saison.”

(R.M. Rilke in Les Quatrains Valaisans, no. 31)
Jodoigne (B)
