| German commentary |
The Jew's hands, translucent in the dusk, polish the lenses time and again. The dying arfernoon is fear, is cold, and all afternoons are the same. The hands and the hyacint-blue air that whtens at the Ghetto edges do not quite exist for this silent man who conjures up a clear labyrinth--- undisturbed by fame, that reflection of dreams in the dream of another mirror, nor by maidens' timid love. Free of metaphor and myth, he grinds a stubborn crystal: the infinite map of the One who is all His stars (transl. by Richard Howard, César Rennert) |
