Quick Blick: What was that??

Hi guys

I came across this beautiful poem by the German poet Erich Fried, who loved to experiment with langauge..

Happy reading!!

Was war das? Ohne dich sein ganz ohne dich und langsam zu vergessen beginnen wie es mit dir war ganz mit dir und dann halb halb mit und halb ohne und ganz zuletzt ganz ohne Erich Fried

What was that?           Being without you           totally without you                     and slowly           starting to forget           how it was to be with you           totally with you                     and then half           half with and half without                     and finally           totally without                      Translation by Günter Ehweiner
