I haven't "blogged" in a while, but if I write something, it should be anywhere but on wretched Facebook. Looking back at one of my old online journals, I noticed I wrote a lot of uninteresting crap. I will try to not do that this time.
The title of this page is that of a poem by Friederich Rückert.
,,Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder.
Meine Augen schlag' ich nieder
Wie ertappt auf böser Tat
Selber darf ich nicht getrauen,
ihrem Wachsen zuzuschauen.
Deine Neugier ist Verrat!
Bienen, wenn sie Zellen bauen,
lassen auch nicht zu sich schauen.
Schauen selber auch nicht zu
Wenn die reichen Honigwaben
sie zu tag gefördert haben,
dann vor allen nasche du!"
Do not look me in the songs.
I bat my eyes downward.
As if caught at a bad deed.
I myself do not dare
to watch their growth.
Your curiosity is betrayal!
Bees, when they build their hives,
also don't let themselves be observed.
They themselves do not even watch.
When they have nurtured
the rich honey combs into being,
then before all others, may you have a taste!

Hmm...I have often fallen into the trap of mediocraty in my writing. I set up a blog. You can watch me and tell me when I'm boring.
AntwortenLöschenI like this poem. Especially the first stanza, "As if caught in a bad deed" I felt it. I did it.
Forgive my sloppy comments in advance. You know how I do.
Hahah, mediocrity is a beast difficult to escape (for by definition, some people must be mediocre). The important thing is that one tries to do something special. I meant that I would share boring stuff like "I lost an online auction for the "Tenchi Muyo!" DVD on Ebay! I'm so angry!" This time around? None of that. :)
