Ether Stanzas (Ätherstrophen)
Written by Emmy Hennings & Translated by William Seaton
Now I must dive off the great ball,
while in Paris a festival reigns.
People gather in the East Side Train Station
a bright silk-bannered hall,
but I am not among them.
I run off to the enormous room.
I mix in every dream.
And decode a thousand expressions.
A sick man lies in misery.
His last look hypnotizes me.
We long to go back to some lost summer day.
A black cross fills the room.
