1 " LoveMy soul was a light-blue gown, sky-coloured;I left it on a cliff by the seaand naked I came to you, resembling a woman.And like a woman I sat at your tableand drank a toast with wine and breathed in the scent of several roses.You found me beautiful, resembling something you'd seen dreaming,I forgot everything, I forgot my childhood and my homeland,I knew only that your caresses held me captive.And, smiling, you took up a mirror and bade me look.I saw that my shoulders were made of dust and crumbled away,I saw that my beauty was sick and had no desire other than to - disappear.Oh, hold me close in your arms, so tightly that I need nothing. "
― Edith Södergran ,
2 " Nu ville vi säga dig ditt livs hemlighet:nyckeln till alla hemligheter ligger i gräset i hallonbacken.Vi ville stöta dig för pannan, du sovande,vi ville väcka dig, döda, ur din sömn. "
