renovation - the fleeting world; bubbles in a stream

“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)

Not only our car is in pieces

“We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out West
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin’ away …”

The poetry of the theater of renovation

"J’ai bâti dans ma fantaisie
Un théâtre aux décors divers:
- Magiques palais, grands bois verts 
Pour y jouer ma poésie."

(Ch. Cross in Sonnet)

What a joy it can be to renovate

"All are architects of Fate,
   Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
   Some with ornaments of rhyme.

Nothing useless is, or low;
   Each thing in its place is best;
And what seems but idle show
   Strengthens and supports the rest."

(H.W. Longfellow in The builders)
Liège (B)
