“the black ghosts of trees” - Adalbert Stifter, The Bachelors trans. David Breyer #stifter #AdalbertStifter #germanlit

"In the green countryside beyond was the silver glint of a river and further off the oh, so gentle, almost achingly enticing blue of the mountains."

-Adalbert Stifter, The Bachelors trans. David Bryer

And so it was that, under its cool mantle of stars, this same night descended, indifferent as to whether there were young hearts who rejoiced at the day gone by, without having ever given one thought to death as if it didn't exist, or as to whether there was an old man who lived in fear of a violent shortening of his life and who, however, was once again one day nearer that moment.
