[This is the line-up of the Outside World tour, not the credits for the Wishful Thinking recordings]

There is a poem of Goethe in which these lines occur:
"Und umzuschaffen das Gesschaffene
Dass sich's nicht zum Starren waffne
Wikt ewiges lebendiges Thun."

which can be roughly translated:
"and refashioning the fashioned
lest it stiffen into iron
is work of endless vital activity"
