J'arrive où je suis étranger
Un jour tu passes la frontière
D'où viens-tu mais où vas-tu donc
Demain qu'importe et qu'importe hier
Louis Aragon (from: J'arrive où je suis étranger)
В огонь? Ну что ж, иди! Идёшь?
И он шагнул однажды
И там сгорел он ни за грош
Ведь был солдат бумажный
Булат Окуджава (from: Бумажный солдат)
Nicht sich verstecken
vor den Dingen
der Zeit
in die Liebe
Aber auch nicht
vor der Liebe
in die Dinge
der Zeit
Erich Fried (Kein Unterschlupf)
Les yeux fermés
Sur un passé
Qui nous a échappé.
Le temps suspendu
Une ascèse
Intellectuelle.
Soudain l'œil humide
Irradie la mémoire
D'une émotion partagée.

J’ai laissé derrière moi mon enfance au soleil nourrie de nature,
Et ma noire condition d'orphelin tissée de misère et de privation;
Je suis encore adolescent ivre d'un rêve de livre et de papier.
Missak Manouchian (from: Vers la France, ca 1925)
There is something utterly unique about this
combination of warmth, immediacy, and pure loneliness.
Igor Levit on Shostakovich's Preludes and Fugues, Oct. 2022
Nisaba, woman sparkling with joy,
Righteous woman, scribe, lady who knows everything:
She leads your fingers on the clay,
She makes them put beautiful wedges on the tablets,
She makes them sparkle with a golden stylus,
A 1-rod reed and a measuring rope of lapis lazuli,
A yardstick, and a writing board which gives wisdom:
Nisaba generously bestowed them on you.
Mesopotamia (2000-1600 BC)
