day 81

winterreise.

die Menschen war tot. nicht da.
diese grosse Landschaft, wird nie weiss sein.

so sang the old senile countryman.

he began this cold tale of men dying for unknown causes.

he forgot what were they.
he forgot who they were.

"weiss du?" he asked.

"nein. sag noch mal bitte."

This world does not have the language to translate what he said then on.

This world has lesser than it promised once.

We never felt so lonely till then.

Die Kinder sind schon alle tot.

Weiss du?

he bid farewell.
