that go to the 
streams of life
 in great cities

is always way

ahead

of what we 

can imagine."

Paul Auster

" A ship's engine far away on the water 
expands the summer-night horizon.
 Both joy and sorrow 
swell in the dew's magnifying glass. 
Without really knowing, 
we divine; our life has a sister ship, 
following quietly another route. 
While the sun blazes behind the islands. "

Tomas Transtromer

" What we need 
for our happiness 
is often close 
at hand,
 if we knew
 but how to 
seek for it. "

 that make this country great.”
