But German breathless? aways sound guttural to me. Please , please forgive my ignorance. Would you do me a favour and post in German? Would appreciate it. Often love poetry in language I don't understand a word of. But german breatless? cheers, Jess

This piece is so beautiful, both in German and English! I'll never forget your first translation for me. Thank you, friend! ~ Ronda

love the translation and the german poem spoken I listen to french radio all day CBC north although I dont know how to speak any other languages knew of German peoples and work with Peter who originaly is from Bremen and his descriptions are interesting also from U Tube looking at Old cars people have in German how they describe their cars in english is very interesting too Like a loud exhaust "sounding warm" I love it and this poem too

Nina, had to pop by and read the translation, it's a good poem but I got to say I prefer it in German, how weird is that? The imagery here is fantastic, it really creates pictures for me but the place your reading of the poem in German took me to was somewhere else, and I prefered it :) Having you present the poem in both languages has been really interesting Nina, cheers, much love Beki x

Just wanted to let you know I had read the translation, has anyone ever told you that you have a great voice???? loved the german spoken version Nina... Richard

always interesting to put voices to poets You are so quiet but well spoken well to me but I can hear you just fine I love Nina Hagen and Merlene Deitrich Rammstein Moonspell and others Rammstein lyrics is where I get inspired to write my dark poems they have sweet love ballads too though But you my dear are precious and the Thames looks a wonderful colour

Appending this translation to the German original would facilitate direct comparison. Certainly a vivid write!

back to read this again it dances in reading lately the moon has been so alive and brooding in her majesty of courtier clouds the wind passionate and strong rocking through the dark arms of trees talking softly in their lullabye charms your writing has a magic quality to it Nina that I adore come back to this one yet again
