Re: [Cz-L] Article about Czernowitz

For those who do not know German, here a translation of the excerpts from
the FAZ article and Celan's Death Fugue:

>"Schwarze Milch"
Means "Black Milk"

> "Denn zwischen den Wörtern, da liegt man nicht eng."
Because, between the words, one does not lie cramped for space

> "Dann habt ihr ein Grab in den Wolken, da liegt man nicht eng"
Then you'll have a grave among the clouds, there one does not lie cramped
for space.
