After she left by car

“Sitze hier an lieber Stelle
Wo ich einst nicht sass alleine;
Damals klang hier süsse Rede
Wo ich heut’ mein Los beweine.”

We meet in the green on cozy benches

“I remember we used to meet
By an ivied seat,
And you warbled each pretty word
With the air of a bird …”

Pay attention! Crossing wine glasses …

“Und noch eine Flasche, Herr Wirt! Ich trank
Die erste in schnöder Zerstreuung,
Ganz ohne Andacht! Mein edler Wein,
Ich bitte dich drob um Verzeihung.”

(H. Heine, no title in Nachgelesene Gedichte 1845-1856)

The taxi left a long time ago

“There’s a moment when all old things
Become new again
But that moment might have been here and gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on”

(Bob Dylan in This dream of you)
