*The Fall Umbel's Small Universe*

This week, seven new translations from the
DUTCH:

The Dancer

Under my skin lives a captive animal
That wildly moves and bites his way outside,
His dark blood throbs, his terse muscles
Tremble in such cramped bondage.

Until his pain as warmth glides through me
And forces the birth of gestures, whose
Hardly mastered and determined elegance,
Strains his momentum before he himself has freed.

One must be made up, that in one's countenance
Only the blackness of eyes singed opened
The insanity of the interior beast betrays.

The mouth, painted red and upturned, must
Be so heavenly proud, that he lets it be known
That his wide laugh has been fully realized.

Martinus Nijhoff (1894-1953)
uit: Vormen (1924) (tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture/Poem:.

NOVEMBER SNOW

[...]

A hermit might build a hut here simply
to count the numbers of their passage.
Sitting, watching, working out the intricacies
of a lute's tablature, pondering how the

turning, tuning downwards of but a single string
shifts our gaze from the steady rise of soaring
birds and blue skies to the sound of a minor
key's slow, continuous descent into earth. [...]
