Old memory of a distressed afternoon in Düssedorf-Germany

What is happening in my greek brain and I prefer german light most than greek clarity of blue sky?
I think I know the answer.




Köhler Barbara poetry

'' RONDEAU ALLEMAGNE ''

I’m hanging on, a stranger to this land,
Caught up by love that drives me beyond the bounds
Between the skies. Where you are is your look-out.
I’m hanging on a stranger to this land.

Caught up by love that drives me beyond the bounds,
To break the agreements is to me what matters,
To laugh, although I tear my heart in tatters,
Caught out by love that drives me beyond the bounds.

Between the skies where you are is your look-out:
The bloody pennant’s raised, the airship falls,
No land in sight, a rope, perhaps, that holds
Between the skies. Where you are is your look-out.
 
 Translation: 1997, Georgina Paul
