Hi, Hardy,
The title of the article is "Schwarze Milch" - the first 2 words in Paul
Celan's "Todesfuge"

The sentence "Denn zwischen den Wörtern, da liegt man nicht eng." is a
paraphrase of the verse in the same poem:

"Dann habt ihr ein Grab in den Wolken, da liegt man nicht eng"

Please translate,
Regards
Irene

Subject: Re: [Cz-L] Article about Czernowitz

" Ein kleines Land mit Millionen von Bäumen für Millionen von Särgen und
Millionen von Gedichtzeilen. Denn zwischen den Wörtern, da liegt man nicht
eng."

  The final line of the mentioned article:
  " A small country with millions of trees for a million of coffins and
millions of rhymes,
   one does not lie tight there. "

It sounds much better in German....

Dear Gabriele and list
I wonder if someone could translate the article it seems to have touched so
many readers. I speak German but as I spoke it before I learnt to read I
cannot read German. I would be grateful if someone did have the time and
inclination to translate it.
Warm regards
Ethel
