*A LIGHT TOO BRIGHT TO BEAR . . .*

This week, two new translations from the
GERMAN:

SONNETS TO ORPHEUS XXI (FIRST PART)

Spring has again returned. The Earth
is like a child that knows many poems,
many, o so many . . . . For the hardship
of such long learning she receives the prize.

Strict was her teacher. The white
in the old man's beard pleases us.
Now, what to call green, to call blue,
we dare to ask: she knows, she knows!

Earth, now free, you happy one, play
with the children. We want to catch you,
joyful Earth. Only the most joyful can do it.

O, what her teacher taught her, such plenitude,
and that which is pressed into roots and long
heavy, twisted trunks: she sings, she sings!

from: Sonnets to Orpheus
(tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture/Poem:.

An American Triptych:
Concord, MA
(Walden Pond)

In America stands a house,
simple, rough hewn, like
a song which speaks eloquently
of important
things
with
words
from everyday life.
Just one room, it is made of wood, [...]
