Blooming on the Fence

“…Choose flowers which bloom on the fence, and half in the field, put them into your room, and count the sounds, the sounds of life, its tone…” 

“Von Blumen sollst du solche wählen,
Die blühn am Zaun und halb im Acker schon,
Die in das Zimmer tun, die Laute zählen,
Des Lebens Laute, seinen Ton…“ (Gottfried Benn)
