Die Liebende
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ja, ich sehne mich nach dir. Ich gleite mich verlierend selbst mir aus der Hand, ohne Hoffnung, dass ich Das bestreite, was zu mir kommt wie aus deiner Seite ernst und unbeirrt und unverwandt. ... jene Zeiten: O wie war ich Eines, nichts was rief und nichts was mich verriet; meine Stille war wie eines Steines, über den der Bach sein Murmeln zieht. Aber jetzt in diesen Frühlingswochen hat mich etwas langsam abgebrochen von dem unbewussten dunkeln Jahr. Etwas hat mein armes warmes Leben irgendeinem in die Hand gegeben, der nicht weiß, was ich noch gestern war.
Confirmed with Rainer Maria Rilke, Das Buch der Bilder, Leipzig : Im Insel-Verlag, 1923, page 12.

La dona enamorada
Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)
Sí, em deleixo per tu. M'esmunyo jo mateixa perdent-me entre les mans, sense l'esperança de poder negar el que, de la teva part, ve cap a mi, sever, impertèrrit i estrany. .... aquells temps: Oh! que sola estava res em cridava, res m'evidenciava; el meu silenci era com el d'una pedra sobre la qual el rierol fa córrer el seu mormol. Però ara, en aquestes setmanes de primavera, quelcom dels anys foscos i inconscients s'ha desprès lentament de mi. Quelcom, que la meva pobre i sentida vida ha donat a la mà d'algú que no sap el que jo era encara ahir.
