| [ASR] Some irony about the life of Henry Ford who was born and died in Dearborn. ♠♠♠♠♠ Detroit (vi) ♠♠♠♠♠ Cruise down the river, cross the lake, come to the mansion Ford built down on old Fair Lane. Tour the turbines, visit the rooms, flush the fifteen toilets, ready for the truckloads of turists. Consider how the rich and mighty stirred their drinks with homemade ice, how Tommy Edison designed this monolith self sufficient with it heat and power and light, and how one day in 'forty-seven the River Rouge left its banks knocking out the power at night and the powerful Henry Ford died by candlelight. Kåre Enga catalogue number: [162.456] 15 oktober 2005 Note: Henry Ford died the night of April 7, 1947 at his home, Fair Lane, after the River Rouge had flooded. |
