Love
My soul was a light-blue gown, sky-coloured;
I left it on a cliff by the sea
and naked I came to you, resembling a woman.
And like a woman I sat at your table
and drank a toast with wine and breathed in the scent of several roses.
You found me beautiful, resembling something you'd seen dreaming,
I forgot everything, I forgot my childhood and my homeland,
I knew only that your caresses held me captive.
And, smiling, you took up a mirror and bade me look.
I saw that my shoulders were made of dust and crumbled away,
I saw that my beauty was sick and had no desire other than to - disappear.
Oh, hold me close in your arms, so tightly that I need nothing.
Min selvsikkerhed beror på, at jeg har opdaget mine dimensioner. Det er ikke min sag at gøre mig mindre end jeg er
Edith SödergranGå ikke alltför nära dina drömmar:
de äro en osanning, de borde gå -
de äro ett vansinne, de vilja stanna.
Nu ville vi säga dig ditt livs hemlighet:
nyckeln till alla hemligheter ligger i gräset i hallonbacken.
Vi ville stöta dig för pannan, du sovande,
vi ville väcka dig, döda, ur din sömn.
My self-confidence comes from the fact that I have discovered my own dimensions. It does not behoove me to make myself smaller than I am.
