VIEW UPON HERSTELLE

When Piet Hein and I walk along the Weser in the direction of Würgassen, then we see the village Herstelle at the other side of the river.
There is a church, a Burg (a castle), half-timbered houses and more modern houses too. High upon the hill there is a cloister, a nunnery, not to be seen in this view.
It snowed today, although I hesitate to call it snow at all, but it certainly was not rain.
We started our walk in the afternoon, at first there was no wind blowing, till the path did bend a bit. Happily it blew upon our back when we turned back.

My haiku:

They stand peacefully
Waiting patiently as if
Time does not matter

And the proverb:

When you enter into a house, leave the anger ever at the door.

1640  Herbert  358.
