I like this poem -




I WANT TO BUILD



I want to build


and raise new
the temples of Theseus and the stadiums
and where Perikles lived


But there's no money, too much spent
today, I had a guest
over         and we sat together



Friedrich Hölderlin
Translated from the German by Richard Sieburth
jubilat
Number 11



And so it is!!
