#OTD Leonie "Nelly" Sachs, #German #Poet, is born.
In 1940, she fled to #Sweden where she lived the rest of her life. She was a #Poignant #Voice for her fellow #Jews.
In #Chorus of Comforters, she wrote,
No #Herb may be #Transplanted
From #Yesterday to #Tomorrow.
The #Sage has faded in the #Cradles--
#Rosemary lost its #Scent facing the new #Dead--
Even #Wormwood was only bitter yesterday.
We are #Gardeners who have no #Flowers
& #Stand upon a shining #Star
& #Weep.
