TRANSLATIONS Traum durch die Dämmerung (German text by Otto Julius Bierbaum) Broad meadows in the grey twilight; the sun's light has died away and the stars are moving.

Now I go to the loveliest of women, across the meadow in the grey twilight, deep into bushes of jasmine. rough the grey twilight to the land of love; I do not walk quickly, I do not hurry.

I am drawn by a faint, velvet thread through the grey twilight to the land of love, into a blue, mild light.

Zueignung (German text by Hermann von Gilm) Yes, you know it, dearest soul, How I suffer far from you, Love makes the heart sick, Have thanks.

Once I, drinker of freedom, Held high the amethyst beaker, And you blessed the drink, Have thanks.

And you exorcised the evils in it, Until I, as I had never been before, Blessed, blessed sank upon your heart, Have thanks.

Nichts (German text by Hermann von Gilm) I should name, you say, my queen in the realm of love?

You are fools, for I know her less than you do.

Ask me about the color of her eyes; ask me about the sound of her voice; ask me about her gait and posture, and how she dances; ah, what do I know about it?

Is not the sun the source of all life and all light?

And about this, what do I and you and everyone know? Nothing.
