“At home I have a blue piano.But I can’t play a note.It’s been in the shadow of the cellar doorEver since the world went rotten.Four starry hands play harmonies,The Woman in the Moon sang in her boat.Now only rats dance to the clanks.The keyboard is in bits.I wept for what is blue. Is dead.Sweet angels, I have eatenSuch bitter bread. Push openThe door of heaven. For me, for now-Although I am still alive-Although it is not allowed”
Else Lasker-Schüler
“Du weißt doch, was ich von der Liebe halte. Wäre sie eine Fahne, ich würde sie erobern oder für sie fallen.”
Else Lasker-Schüler
“A true poet does not say 'azure'; a true poet says 'blue.”
