\"ITHACA<\/p>\n

IN WINTER<\/span><\/p>\n

In winter, the murderous death enters homes;<\/span>
\nit seeks the sister, the father, plays violin for them.<\/span>
\nBut when the earth moves under the spade of spring<\/span>
\ndeath runs in the streets greeting passersby.<\/span><\/p>\n

*<\/span><\/p>\n

SINCE ALL IS PASSING<\/span><\/p>\n

Since all is passing, let us make a passing melody;<\/span>
\nthe one that quenches our thirst will be right for us.<\/span>
\nLet us sing what leaves us with love and art;<\/span>
\nlet us be faster, faster than the fast, the fast good bye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rainer Maria Rilke<\/span> (1875 – 1926)<\/span>
\nTranslation Germain Droogenbroodt<\/span><\/em><\/span>
\nPainting: Cath Van der Boon<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

EN HIVER\/\/En hiver, la mort meurtri\u00e8re entre dans les maisons ; \/elle cherche la s\u0153ur, le p\u00e8re, et leur joue du violon.\/\/Mais quand la terre remue, sous la b\u00eache du printemps,\/la mort court dans les rues\/ et salue les passants<\/span><\/em>
\n*<\/span><\/em>
\nPUISQUE TOUT PASSE\/\/Puisque tout passe, faisons la m\u00e9lodie passag\u00e8re; celle qui nous d\u00e9salt\u00e8re aura de nous, aura raison.\/Chantons ce qui nous quitte avec amour et art; <\/span><\/em>soyons plus vite, plus vite que le rapide, rapide d\u00e9part.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
