There is only one poem on earth I know, and only one poem I really love, one poem I have always tried to capture on film ... three days ago, the button clicked ...

english:

His gaze, going past those bars, has got so misted
with tiredness, it can take in nothing more.
He feels as though a thousand bars existed,
and no more world beyond them than before.

Those supply powerful paddings, turning there
in tiniest of circles, well might be
the dance of forces round a center where
some mighty will stands paralyticly.

Just now and then the pupils' noiseless shutter
is lifted. - Then an image will indart,
down through the limbs' intensive stillness flutter,
and end its being in the heart.


french:

Son regard, à force d'user les barreaux
s'est tant épuisé qu'il ne retient plus rien.
Il lui semble que le monde est fait
de milliers de barreaux et au-delà rien.

La démarche feutrée aux pas souples et forts,
elle tourne en rond dans un cercle étroit,
c'est comme une danse de forces autour d'un centre
où se tient engourdie une volonté puissante.

Parfois se lève le rideau des pupilles
sans bruit. Une image y pénètre,
parcourt le silence tendu des membres
et arrivant au coeur, s'évanouit.


spanish:

Su mirada está del paso de las rejas
tan cansada, que no retiene ya objeto alguno.
Para ella, es como si mil rejas hubiera
y detrás de las mil rejas ningún mundo.


La marcha muelle de trancos dúctiles y recios
girando de un ínfimo círculo en la nada
es como una danza de fuerza en torno a un centro,
en que se yergue una voluntad narcotizada.


Sólo a veces, permite en silencio la apertura
a la pupila el velo. - E ingresa una figura:
por la tensa calma de los miembros va a correr,
para en el corazón cesar, luego, de ser.


german:

Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe
so müd geworden, dass er nichts mehr hält.
Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe
und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt.

Der weiche Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte,
der sich im allerkleinsten Kreise dreht,
ist wie ein Tanz von Kraft um eine Mitte,
in der betäubt ein großer Wille steht.

Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang der Pupille
sich lautlos auf -. Dann geht ein Bild hinein,
geht durch der Glieder angespannte Stille -
und hört im Herzen auf zu sein.

Rainer Maria Rilke, 6.11.1902, Paris, my birth town

very good poem, very complementary to the picture

My only quam would be the buildings in the distance on the left. I feel if they weren't there the image would be that much more solid.

I like how the lines seem to pull him

Simply amazing not because it is incredible done, or the composition is anywhere close to stunning - but because you packed this shot with emotions. Always suprising us :)
