Czernowitzers...
Just in case you missed Tamás Sajó's response on our Ehpes.com Blog
http://ehpes.com/blog1/2013/05/19/let-you-eyes/
as Tamás is not - yet - member of our Discussion Group, I'd like to share with all of you his enlightening mail on Berti's excellent essay on Paul Celan's poem "Zwiegestalt":
"Thank you, Berti, for your deep-going interpretation of both Celan’s poem and its actuality to the Vanished World, and of my choice of word in its English translation as an emblem in the post of Catherine, with whom we made this journey together. In fact, these verses of Celan are here an emblem both in the Ancient sense of the word (emballō) as an inlaid motif in a new work of art, and in the Renaissance sense, as a metaphor which condenses in itself the essence of the work of art, offers a thread – a canon – to its interpretation, and sheds a new, largely unexpected light on it. This is why I dared to choose the word canon in the translation, not as an exact equivalent of Docht, but as something to be highlighted for the people who, largely consciously, are blind to the past whose remains are presented in the post – exactly as you have sensitively exposed it. In doing so (and, I hope, not far from the spirit of the Celanian Zwiegespalt), I was both inspired by the original sense of the kanun as a measuring thread, and the Hungarian equivalent of Docht/wick, kanóc, coming from the same word.
And thank you all – and especially to Edgar – to your honoring attention to Poemas del río Wang."
Thank you so much both of you, Berti and Tamás!

Hi Edgar,
Thank you. When you try to answer questions you undoubtedly open new ones.
We are both together and in good society as far as comprehension is
concerned.
Berti..
