Poems 1962-1963
Gently and Softly*
Dead is everything. Everything is dead.**
And in my silver bread basket
the poisoned slice of apple which would not
go down gets moldy.
On my plates, whoever eats from them
must also lay down the remains
of the noose that was strung for me.
In my bed, whoever lies in it
must each night rustle the notes
that I have sown.
How small is my presence! Only
in distant objects do I still exist,
in lamps, in light
by which I illuminate and give meaning:
all the blood, so much blood that
has flowed. My murderers.

*Mild und Leise, Gently and Softly are the opening words to Isolde's final monologue before she expires over the body of Tristan in Wagner's opera.
помимо цитат из предсмертной арии Изольды, Liebestod, есть дополнительные аллюзии на всю оперу "Тристан и Изольда"
Liebestod singed by Waltraud Meier
** Dead is everything. Everything is dead - почти точная цитата из арии Короля Марка из оперы "Тристан и Изольда", в которой он оплакивает смерть Тристана
Tot denn alles! by Matti Salminen
