“Sie saßen und tranken am Teetisch
Und sprachen von Liebe viel.
Die Herren, die waren ästhetisch,
Die Damen von zartem Gefühl.”
(H. Heine in Lyrisches Intermezzo, no. 50)
Visé (B)
Dying railway tracks on the roadside
When the ship becomes liquid…
Onderzeebootloods
“How to build that ship?” End of the story!
“I saw a ship a-sinking, a-sinking, a-sinking,
With glittering sea-water splashing on her decks,
With seamen in her spirit-room singing songs and drinking,
Pulling claret bottles down, and knocking off the necks,
The broken glass was chinking as she sank among the wrecks.”
(J. Masefield in I saw a ship)
