Window:
The English word “Window” has its origin, so the Cambridge Dictionary tells
me, in the Old Norse, where it was a “Windauga,” an “eye for
the wind.”
Cambridge continues: “It
is a space, usually filled with Glass to allow (….....) people
inside the building to see out.
Well, They are only
half right with this definition, since a Window also allows
people to see “in”.
May I present to you,
Windows along the Kärntner Straße in Vienna, for example,
where you are definitely invited to “see in.”
There is also the window
in a church, which is meant to allow only light into the inside and
which is almost always used to carry decorative motives.
Stained-Glass Windows
provide space for decorative motives
And finally, there are
windows,
which invite small boys to throw stones at .
Windows in an abandoned building!
They won't last long.
Small boys will come
Small Boys have come!
A modern "Artist" has found a title:
"Person with long tongue and umbrella."
