The city breaks, builds,
traffic comes before art and --
passes under it.
De stad breekt en bouwt,	Die Stadt bricht und baut,
verkeer gaat boven de kunst --	Verkehr kommt vor Kunst und geht --
en er onderdoor.	unter ihr hindurch.

Amsterdam, 2025-04-22
With a photo of the Museumstraat (Museum Street), over which the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam was built; until 1931 this was a road for cars (right above the photographed southern gate hangs Rembrandt's Night Watch)
