Aus heutiger Sicht.

When I look out my window,
Many sights to see.
And when I look in my window,
So many different people to be
That it's strange, so strange.
You've got to pick up every stitch,
You've got to pick up every stitch,
You've got to pick up every stitch,
Mm, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch.

When I look over my shoulder,
What do you think I see ?
Some other cat looking over
His shoulder at me
And he's strange, sure he's strange.
You've got to pick up every stitch,
You've got to pick up every stitch,
Beatniks are out to make it rich,
Oh no, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch. (...)

From: Forbes Magazine - current issue.
NEW YORK - They're famous across the globe. Their work is treasured by millions. And they're rolling in cash--they just can't spend any of it.

The 13 members of our annual Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list brought in a collective $186 million in the last year. They, or more accurately, their estates, earned that money by selling their work--both written and recorded--or just the rights to use their likenesses on T-shirts, posters or in advertisements. Sometimes, their life stories themselves are worth something: Ray Charles makes the list for the first time this year, in part because of income related to his 2004 biopic. Johnny Cash, who also makes his first appearance this year, has his own movie out in November.

Most of the lucky 13 on our list are there year in and year out, with only slight changes in their annual income--the demand for Marilyn Monroe, for instance, remains fairly steady. Others see their relative fortunes rise and fall depending on whether Hollywood is throwing money their way--neither Theodor ("Dr. Seuss") Geisel nor J.R.R. Tolkien made the silver screen this year, and their income fell accordingly.

1. Elvis Presley - $ 45 million
2. Charles Schulz - $ 35 million
3. John Lennon - $ 22 million
4. Andy Warhol - $ 16 million
5. Theod. „Dr. Seuss“ Geisel - $ 10 million
6. Marlon Brando - $ 9 million
7. Marilyn Monroe - $ 8 million

8. J.R.R. Tolkien - $ 8 million
9. George Harrison - $ 7 million
10. Johnny Cash - $ 7 million
11. Irving Berlin - $ 7 million
12. Bob Marley - $ 6 million
13. Ray Charles - $ 6 million

In Katzenjahren gerechnet
ist sie nicht viel älter als ich
Sie bewegt sich vorsichtig:
Vom Fensterbrett springt sie
zuerst auf den Stuhl hinunter
und dann zögernd zu Boden
Sie geht langsam zu ihrem Napf:
Jede Bewegung ein Schmerz
Ich beginne aufzustehen
um ihr Futter zu geben
Ich zucke zusammen
und muß stillstehend
einatmen
ausatmen
Richtig:
Jede Bewegung ein Schmerz

In viaggio.

Partire per non-so-dove
E sperare di non arrivare

Cercare non-so-cosa
Per trovarlo dove non c'è

E dimenticare ciò che sono
Per ritrovare ciò che ero

... sind ja doch so schön - und regen die Phantasie ungemein an ...
Geschmunzelt, als ich dieses Bild, aber nicht den dazugehörigen Link im www fand.
Und wers anklickt, hat noch ein bisschen mehr davon...

Your first breath
Your first pain
Your first tears
Your first year
Your first smile
Your first word
Your first step
Whatever's next
Your first school
Your first crush
Your first kiss
Consider this

Your first love
Your first lover
Your first time
Was like no other
Your first fight
Your first heartache
Your first regret
You can't forget
Your first bar
Your first drink
Your best friend
The bathroom sink

Your first flat
Your first debt
Your first taste
Of the worst case
Your first job
Your first boss
Your first paycheck
Now let's get wrecked
Your first house
Your first car
Your first child
And that's the story so far

It's not just happenstance
Or force of circumstance
God bless the little things
That make the bigger things
God bless the little things
That make the bigger things
