Griechische Literatur
As much as you can
Even if you cannot shape your life as you want it,
at least try this
as much as you can; do not debase it
in excessive contact with the world,
in the excessive movements and talk.
Do not debase it by taking it,
dragging it often and exposing it
to the daily folly
of relationships and associations,
until it becomes burdensome as an alien life.
SOVIEL DU VERMAGST
Und wenn du nicht vermagst, dein Leben zu führen, wie du es willst,
Solches zum mindesten sei bestrebt,
Soviel du vermagst: es nicht zu entwürdigen
Inmitten der vielen Berührung mit der Welt,
Inmitten der vielen Bewegungen und Gespräche.
Nicht entwürdige es durch Hetzen
Und häufiges Zerren und Aussetzen
In der Beziehungen und Zusammenrottungen
Täglichem Unsinn,
Bis es wird wie ein lästiges Bettelkind.
E se non puoi la vita che desideri
E se non puoi la vita che desideri
cerca almeno questo per quanto sta in te
non sciuparla
nel troppo commercio con la gente
con troppe parole in un viavai frenetico
Non sciuparla portandola in giro
in balìa del quotidiano
gioco balordo
degli incontri e degli inviti
fino a farne una stucchevole estranea.
