As a small token of my appreciation of the wonderful concert at the Sofiero chateau park concert at Helsingborg, Sweden I have made a Chinese seal which can be seen at http://lipfan674.blogspot.com/2008/07/s%20...%20cohen.html
Originally I was trying to find an appropriate classical Chinese translation of "there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in" to put into the seal... but no matter how I tried they all fell to the ground: 无物无裂如此入光 and 万物有裂因而入明 and so on and backwards and forwards...
Luckily enough, a roving mobile filmer at

had the answer. So the seal says: du-dang-dang-dang, di du dang dang sounding like a buddhist sutra or, better still (at least in its seal form), a taoist talisman protecting the readers of these lines always, always...
(PS if you enlarge the seal you can see that there are cracks letting light in at the left edge)
