Nothingness...Paul Celan


Nothingness, for our
names' sake
---they gather us in---,
sets a seal,

the end believes we're
the beginning

in front of
masters
going silent around us,
in the Undivided, there testifies
a binding
brightness.

Das Nichts, um unsrer
Namen willen
----sie sammeln uns ein----,
siegelt,

das Ende glaubt uns
den Anfang,

vor den uns
umschweigenden
Meistern,
im Ungescheidnen, bezeugt sich
die klamme
Helle.
