Wilhelmine of Baden to a portrait
The past is paved by thoughts,
The only thing that slips away from us
Is memories,
The best thing ever
To overcome sadness
And express gratitude.
The past reeks of the Northern Sea salt,
It is full of suppressed energy,
So is the silence
About the glory
Of names forgotten,
So is the aptitude
To convince and create,
So is a string of wonders,
So is the luxury unforeseen,
All expressed in a solemn portrait.
