Wallace Stevens - Lebensweisheitspielerei lyrics
[Wallace Stevens - Lebensweisheitspielerei lyrics]
Weaker and weaker, the sunlight falls
In the afternoon the proud and the strong
Have departed
Those that are left are the unaccomplished
The finally human
Natives of a dwindled sphere
Their indigence is an indigence
That is an indigence of the light
A stellar pallor that hangs on the threads
Little by little, the poverty
Of autumnal space becomes
A look, a few words spoken
Each person completely touches us
With what he is and as he is
In the stale grandeur of annihilation
In the afternoon the proud and the strong
Have departed
Those that are left are the unaccomplished
The finally human
Natives of a dwindled sphere
Their indigence is an indigence
That is an indigence of the light
A stellar pallor that hangs on the threads
Little by little, the poverty
Of autumnal space becomes
A look, a few words spoken
Each person completely touches us
With what he is and as he is
In the stale grandeur of annihilation
