Dem B\u00fcrger fliegt vom spitzen Kopf der Hut,
\n In allen L\u00fcften hallt es wie Geschrei.
\n Dachdecker st\u00fcrzen ab und gehn entzwei
\n Und an den K\u00fcsten \u2013 liest man \u2013 steigt die Flut.<\/p>\n
Der Sturm ist da, die wilden Meere hupfen
\n An Land, um dicke D\u00e4mme zu zerdr\u00fccken.
\n Die meisten Menschen haben einen Schnupfen.
\n Die Eisenbahnen fallen von den Br\u00fccken.<\/p>\n
(Jakob van Hoddis, 1911)<\/p>\n
In English (translated by Natias Neutert)<\/p>\n
World’s End<\/p>\n
From burgher’s pointy head the hat flies.
\nIn all quarters resounds hullabaloo.
\nRoof tilers plummet down and break in two.
\nAlong the coasts\u2014 one reads \u2014 the floodings rise.<\/p>\n
The storm is here, wuthering seas are hopping
\nAshore to crush dams as if they were midges.
\nMost people have a cold that is not stopping.
\nThe railway waggons tumble down from bridges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
