Die Natur

Природа

Ruhig liegt der kleine See
Wie ein Kelch, gefüllt mit Wasser.

Der Bambus wirkt wie kleine Hütten,
Die Bäume sind ein Dächermeer.

Und spitze Felsen, gleich Pagoden,
Erheben sich zwischen den Blumen.

Und freudig denk ich, dass die ewge
Natur bei uns in die Lehre geht.

[nach Wan-Tie]

The Cathedral at Padua

Marvellous, and sad - yes, that’s what this temple / is - a joy, a temptation, a threat. / Eyes exhausted with desire / bum in the slits of confessional windows. / / The organ melody rises, falls, / then swells fuller and more terrible, / like blood in dark church-granite veins ...

The Sun of the Spirit

How could we walk in peace, before, / expecting no joy, no disaster, / not dreaming of battles, of flaming retreats, / or the roaring trumpet of victory ? / / How could we - but it’s not too late, / the sun of the spirit bends down to us - / soothing, threatening, it pours / a...
