“Only the trees will whisper in the dark.
The night will pale.
The day will dawn.
We shall look at each other’s eyes
and go on our different paths.
Speak to me, my love!
Tell me in words what you sang.”
(R. Tagore in The gardener no.29)

“Auto Ecole”; driving in empty places
Entrance to the school for writing errors
And these I see, these sparkling eyes, These stores of mystic meaning, these young lives, Building, equipping like a fleet of ships, immortal ships, Soon to sail out over the measureless seas, On the soul's voyage. Only a lot of boys and girls? Only the tiresome spelling, writing, ciphering classes? Only a public school? Ah more, infinitely more. (W. Whitman in Song of democracy) Namur (B)

“We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone …”

We can go
Lights are low
Let me show you to my darkroom”
