Beat

 "...the beat
   Following her daily of thy heart and feet,
 How passionately and irretrievably
In what fond flight, how many ways and days."

Graham Greene, The Confidential Agent

Balance (Sheet)

In so many ways economy should always be balanced, but would the people of high finance still heed this nowadays - a 'Hochseilakt'/ high wire act.When I recently I attended a performance, the tightrobe wasn't tight but sagging. I was genuinely surprised that this was possible.

Title Cities

Funnily they supply the title, but are never mentioned in the respective songs.

Miracles And Wonders

One of the most beautiful buildings I've ever been to; and also the place of an experience I cherish a lot, which is climbing underneath Charlemagne's throne like pilgrims have been doing for centuries, because at least in my diocese Charlemagne is venerated as a saint.



Of course, there is also some kind of local patriotism involved ;). Here can the homepage and the 3D virtual tour be found!

Hard(er) to Grasp

Far less known than the Seven Deadly Sins are the Seven Works of Mercy - until a visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam I was not actually aware of their existence, nor the fact that painters chose them as a subject.

The feature I like the most in Caravaggio's interpretation is the group of two angels looking down and here especially the way the angel on the left holds his hands.

Boundless

There's something puzzling me about the fad of colouring books, but then again I'm not a distinctively tidy person (at all) ;).

Who Wouldn't Believe

 There was a good grief?!



These conceptions leave me in a radiant state of mind.
