“I'm now making myself as scummy as I can. Why? I want to be a poet, and I'm working at turning myself into a seer. You won't understand any of this, and I'm almost incapable of explaining it to you. The idea is to reach the unknown by the derangement of all the senses. It involves enormous suffering, but one must be strong and be a born poet. It's really not my fault.”

I go for my appointment on Tuesday! 😱
I was enchanted by every city we visited on our cruise four (!) years ago, but Bruges was by far the most picturesque. It has a bell tower, a cathedral, a canal with swans, a palace, quaint shops and cafes…
There‘s also quirky public art, such as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Don‘t ask me which one this is, because I couldn‘t read the Dutch sign with tiny writing.
