  • Hildegard of Bingen

  • “The Cry” by Mirjam Tuominen.

    There is a cry in the forest I want to go home The keys have fallen The paths have disappeared I cannot go there I am badly frightened I have frightened myself very badly They have frightened I have frightened I want to go home to the dolls there at home Home to the stove […]
