U izvoru tvojih očijumore drži svoju riječ.Ja ondje bacamsrce koje je boravilo kod ljudi. - Paul Celan
They are the efforts of someone who, overarced by stars that are human handiwork, and who, shelterless in this till now undreamt of sense and thus most uncannily in the open, goes with his very being into language, reality-wounded and reality-seeking. - Paul Celan
Wer auf dem Kopf geht, der hat den Himmel als Abgrund unter sich. - Paul Celan
Only one thing remained reachable, close and secure amid all losses: language. Yes, language. In spite of everything, it remained secure against loss. - Paul Celan
