THE LANTERN – WORKSHOP

Development is proceeding hastily, and the highway lights up the night at Harpefoss, as a living proof of the new times. First one road, then another, but this time outside. If «the Lantern» could utter words / yes, reflect even / it might say / Here I am / I light up the darkness / Come to me / Perhaps I am the excuse for you to meet and talk (be) together / Good day, neighbour / Come to me, Harpefoss
