Gieb ihr ein Schweigen (c)
Theodore Stephanides (1896-1983)
A part of us remains and that half-self
Still wanders through those well-remembered ways;
Until sometimes we feel as if we were
A shade that alternates between two lives,
A ghost inhabiting two worlds, and yet
Not fully fleshed in either ....
