[Transcription/translation] Deceased dearly beloved, How frightfully your gaze fixes me! Your finger, robbed of flesh, Points at me threateningly, Your eye sockets peer in darkly – What did I do in life That you should be so dreadful in death? Was the loving homage of my friendship, The years of reverent affection, My bending to your will So incomprehensible?

https://www.tate.org.uk/art/archive/items/tga-20062-7-128-2-29/poem-by-else-meidner-titled-eternal-farewell

https://www.tate.org.uk/art/archive/items/tga-20062-7-128-1-10/poem-by-else-meidner-titled-longing

[Transcription/translation] Longing – written 1959 Grant me just a year of friendship! A year for you is too long, I can tell from your furrowed brow. A month then, I beg you! Still less you had in mind? Let it be just a day! Not even that? Then give me an hour to see you again, That I might kiss your eyes once more. So much I omitted to do, Held you but by half, And knew not the short term you had set, So come for an hour just one last time! You vision of beauty, Holding you in …
