SNFCC

    SNFCC stands for "Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center", a major cultural vision for Greece. The SNFCC, as we speak, constructs new buildings for the National Library of Greece (NLG) and the Greek National Opera (GNO) both situated in a extended park at the waterfront of Athens.

    More you can discover there. Also, at the video that follows, famous architect Renzo Piano (more there and there) explains his vision and plans for the site.

    Furthermore, the two construction companies explain the construction procedure at our last video.

Nearness of the Beloved One

I think of you,

when I see the sun’s shimmer,

gleaming from the sea.

I think of you,

when the moon’s glimmer

is reflected in the springs.

I see you,

when on the distant road

the dust rises.

In deep night

when on the narrow bridge,

the traveler trembles.

I hear you,

when with a dull roar

the wave surges.

In the quiet grove I often go to listen

when all is silent.

I am with you,

however far away you may be,

you are next to me!

The sun is setting,

soon the stars will shine upon me.

If only you were here!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Nähe des Geliebten (German title)
