A patchwork shed

“Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before
I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door”

(Bob Dylan in Tryin’ to get to Heaven)

Creative building with colours and materials

“Goethe said architecture
is frozen music,
but I believe it to be petrified music
and cities, symphonies built out of time,
concerts of visible forgetting.”

(H. Aridjis in Goethe said said architecture)

Some black birds in a desolate garden

“Oh, says the rook and eke the crow,
The reason why in black we go
Because our love has us forsook,
So pity us poor crow and rook!”

(J. Clare in Birds’ lament)

He thought he saw an Elephant

“He thought he saw an Elephant
That practised on a fife:
He looked again, and found it was
A letter from his wife.
‘At length I realize,’ he said,
‘The bitterness of Life!'”

(Lewis Caroll in Sylvie and Bruno)

If there were dreams to sell, what would you buy?

"A cottage lone and still,
With bowers nigh,
Shadowy, my woes to still,
Until I die."

(Brian Holmes in Dream-Pedlary)
