:))) да,похоже так и есть,даже гугл-переводчик дает представление. надо будет посмотреть это стихотворение - есть ли в том сборнике, что стоит у меня на полке.
Gottfried Benn (1886-1956), "What's Bad" (tr. Michael Hofmann): Not reading English, and hearing about a new English thriller that hasn't been translated. Seeing a cold beer when it's hot out, and not being able to afford it. Having an idea that you can't encapsulate in a line of Hölderlin, the way the professors do. Hearing the waves beat against the shore on holiday at night, and telling yourself it's what they always do. Very bad: being invited out, when your own room at home is quieter, the coffee is better, and you don't have to make small talk. And worst of all: not to die in summer, when the days are long and the earth yields easily to the spade.
