See me!

"If thou wert blind,
I would give my sight,
Lest thy darkness should set me far from thee."

High heat “The air is getting hotter
There’s a rumbling in the skies
I’ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before …”

(Bob Dylan in Trying to get to heaven)

The door is open and the workers are gone

"Mon espérance n'est pas encore perdue, 
Ô patrie douce aimée, 
de trouver sur ton sol 
un coin pour m'y établir 
avant que ma fin n'arrive..." 

(Folk song Chant du laboureur)

No more workers will be changing clothes here

No more workers changing clothes ...

“My father lies black and hushed
Beneath white hospital sheets
He collapsed at work
His iron left him
Slow and quiet he sank.”

(R.W. Thomas in The worker)

Red bottles standing in line

"We will drink from God's bottles.
Apples are God's bottles: the sweet juice of the apple
God has placed in His own bottle.
What a beautiful rosy-red bottle it is!"

(G. Bachlund in the song God's bottles)
