[Letter 4: New England 14/8 - 1896]



My dearest friend, 

Standing in the middle of the playground site

you see the giant carousel with a sign saying

Awe striking and full of life,

it surges through the air,

one of many things you´ll find

to thrill you at this fare.



As electrical power engage,

you take your seat and enjoy the ride,

round and round in circles you go

and move into the light.

The innocence feature on this fantastic carousel

makes you ride the light-shining carrier

until they ring the bell.

I hear the children cry: “Mommy, can I go?”. 



Faster it feels, like this ride will go on and on.

Forever caressing your mind,

eating your soul till you´re blind.

Faster, I feel like this ride is forevermore.

Once you try this carousel, you never want to stop. 



Horses, dragons, demons,

you´ll feel the magic of the tour

as speedy, merging lights

create a dizzying blur

in the freezing night.

You won´t feel the numbing cold

as you stare at the picture of the creatures of old. 



Oh, how the children plead “Mommy, can I go?” 



It feels like this ride will go on and on,

forever caressing your mind,

eating your soul till you´re blind.

Faster, I feel like this ride is forevermore.

Once you try this carousel, you never want to stop!
