Phillip Crosby who has recently been reading and writing about Aldo van Eyck's Amsterdam playgrounds shared this poem by van Eyck over on TC

"To consider the city is to encounter ourselves.
To encounter the city is to rediscover the child.
If the child rediscovers the city,
the city will rediscover the child—ourselves.

LOOK SNOW!

A miraculous trick of the skies—a fleeting correction.
All at once the child is Lord of the City.
But the joy of gathering snow off paralyzed vehicles is
short-lived.

Provide something for the human child more permanent
than snow—if perhaps less abundant.

Another miracle."
