Der Abend
für Golo Gangi [alias Erwin Loewenson]
3.
Der Flüchtige wirft sein Haupt
Vom Überw achen matt
Vorn-stüvzend ins Gewölk.
Wir folgten seinem Sturz,
Bis der verlangende Blick
Würzeln im Abgrund schlug;
Bis unsre dumpfe Stirn
Den frommen Boden tief
Leise erschütternd traf. [i]

The Evening Light
for Golo Gangi [aka Erwin Loewenson]
3.
Stumbling forward, the outcast
Casts his head into the thunderheads
From overwhelming weakness.
We followed his descent,
Until the longing glance struck
Roots formed in the abyss;
Until our dull foreheads
Hit the soft pious earth
With tremulous shaking.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Woman in the night (1919)
