[00:00.00] | In der Palästra |
[00:31.16] | As through the pipes the waters fell |
[00:41.15] | down to the bottom of the well, |
[00:50.58] | in listless apathy I gazed |
[01:00.86] | at the cold waters … - as he bathed. |
[01:31.00] | I half behold that scenery and its most sensual masculinity. |
[01:50.11] | Yet, disappointment, oh, can't you see, |
[01:57.77] | is still the cause and the cardinal symptom of my sick, sad reality. |
[02:30.58] | Silver equals chill, but that suits me just fine. |
[02:38.68] | I'm shyly sipping water … while he drinks whole jugs of wine. |
[02:48.46] | He likes all kind of women, and I … I only hate … men. |
[02:58.13] | He marvels at all things new to him … - |
[03:02.42] | and I only wait … |
[03:04.65] | for all things in this sick world to end |
[03:11.28] | The water pouring down his spine, |
[03:20.56] | caressed his strong physique, oh, so well-defined, |
[03:30.32] | calm like a rock he stands, oh, behold his body and soul |
[03:38.97] | a friendly God must have built this man to an all well-balanced whole. |
[04:28.46] | What sad bewilderment this brought, |
[04:38.49] | physical clearness, alas ... |
[04:43.20] | still so much abhorred: |
[04:48.21] | an ancient ghost awoke and fiercely arose in me: |
[04:55.86] | it was that old, savage, yet half-forgotten ideal of perfect neutrality. |
[05:26.13] | Silver equals chill, but that suits me just fine. |
[05:34.28] | I'm shyly sipping water… while he drinks whole jugs of wine. |
[05:43.99] | He likes all kind of women, and I … I only hate… men. |
[05:53.59] | He marvels at all things new to him… - |
[05:57.40] | and I only wait… |
[05:59.58] | for all things in this sick world… to end. |
[06:05.73] | I somewhat envy this naturally beautiful man, |
[06:15.07] | he never knew or encountered the hatred and shame that I bare. |
[06:24.65] | The doubt, the cloak of disgust and the all-devouring dread, |
[06:34.43] | and if I told him about it, he might only shake his head |
[06:44.48] | with kindly amused, melodious laughter, |
[06:49.59] | he then would perhaps merely smile at my … |
[06:54.70] | oh, so stupid silliness … |
[06:58.71] | and the beast that is raging inside. |
