Voices from the nettles:
Come to us on your hands.
All you can read, alone
with a lamp, is your palm.
* * *
Voices, night-knotted, ropes
on which you hang your bell.
Dome yourself over, world:
when death's shell washes up on shore
a bell will want to ring.
– Paul Celan, from an untitled sequence of lyrics published in Sprachgitter (S. Fischer Verlag, 1959), translated by Nikolai Popov & Heather McHugh in Glottal Stop (Wesleyan University Press, 2000)
