Reading the correspondence between Edith Silbermann (born Horowitz)from Czernowitz and Paul Celan - I was reminded of last week's discussion about a children's song, I think Hardy remembered:
"Heinzelmännchen spähn nun durch die Ritzen, Ritzen, Nasen spitz und spitze Zipfelmützen, Zipfelmützen...."
>From Edith's book I learn that Paul Celan gave Edith his handwritten script of the translation of the Swedish song "Tomtarnas julnatt" in 1940. At that time Edith worked as music teacher in several local kindergardens of Czernowitz and so the song spread around...
The lyrics of the Swedish song are by Alfred Smedberg, music was composed by Vilhelm Sefve-Svenson in 1898.
