Nike var den grekiska segergudinnan. En känd bevingad antik Nikeskulptur, Nike från Samothrake finns på Louvren i Paris.

Så märkligt att finna en kopia av denna berömda skulptur i lilla Borstahusen!

Ur Hjalmar Gullbergs dikt Död amazon:

Ej har Nike med segerkransen krönt vid flöjtspel och harposlag perserkonungen, jordens gissel. Glömd förvittrar hans sarkofag. Hyllningkören skall evigt handla om Leonidas' nederlag.

Molly Mallone
1. In Dublins fair city, where the girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Mallone.
As she whelled her whells barrow, through the streets broad and narrow, cryin': Cockles and Mussels! Alive, alive o!
Refrain: Alive, alive, o! Alive, alive, o! Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive o!
2. She was a fishmonger, but sure't was no wonder, for so were father and mother before; and they each wheeled their barrow through streets broad and narrow, crying: Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, o!
3. She died of a fever, and no one could save her, and that was the end of sweet Molly mallone; but her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow, crying: Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, o!
