Nobody here talks about this guy
Though he's good; it makes me wonder why.

Enjoy; here's an excerpt (from The Character of Love Seen as a Search for the Lost):

You, the woman; I, the man; this, the world:
And each is the work of all.

There is the muffled step in the snow; the stranger;
The crippled wren; the nun; the dancer; the Jesus-wing
Over the walkers in the village; and there are
Many beautiful arms around us and the things we know.

See how those stars tramp over the heavens on their sticks
Of ancient light: with what simplicity that blue
Takes eternity into the quiet cave of God, where Caesar
And Socrates, like primitive paintings on a wall,
Look, with idiot eyes, on the world where we two are.

Anyone know of an old japanese poem with the same theme as Ozymandias?
I saw one posted here years ago, and i can't find it anywhere.
It focused on the mountains instead of statues and things relating to the power of a person.
I think it's from one of the thousand leaves collection.

Meister is one of my favourite poets, but I don't think I've ever seen him mentioned here. Very sparse, abstract, short poems.

Is he comparable to Celan? Cause I love Celan

>>18454262
Yeah and he won the nobel prize. He's not underrated.

>> No.18454947

>>18454762
Interesting, I will read him. Thanks for the recommendation . . . he was apparently born and raised in Hagen, which is close to where I live

>> No.18454977

>>18454933
I haven't read much Celan, but I see the comparison a lot. I'd say give it a go just on those grounds alone. Wallless Space is another great collection.
>>18454947
Hope you enjoy! It's beautifully written in German, which is a bonus for you. That specific publication I linked the cover of has the original German on the left page, and the English translation on the right.

People don't choose who they're born to. He actually had a pretty strained relationship with his family, and I believe he cut a lot of them out of his life.
