Swiftly completed
Swiftly done, apart from “acetate”, which was in fact easy.
Mostly straightforward, bar one or two. Pleasing, on the whole.

Mon Alsace bien aimée
Monday morning at the café
A pleasant matutinal diversion
And God said, “Let there be Fig! And there was Fig!”

San Rocco
San Rocco: Read on it.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Rocco
This Saint appears to be following me around in my reading, first as the patron Saint of Clochemerle, whose effigy is smashed during the fight in the church, now as the patron of La Scuola grande di San Rocco, in Melania Mazzucco’s “La lunga attesa dell’angelo”.

Aufenthalt (Schwanengesang: Schubert/Rellstab)
Rauschender Strom, brausender Wald,
Starrender Fels mein Aufenthalt.
Wie sich die Welle an Welle reiht,
Fliessen die Tränen mir ewig erneut.
Hoch in den Kronen wogend sich’s regt,
So unaufhörlich mein Herze schlägt.
Und wie des Felsen uraltes Erz
Ewig derselbe bleibet mein Schmerz.
Surging river, roaring forest,
immovable rock, my resting place.
As wave follows wave,
so my tears flow, ever renewed.
As the high treetops stir and heave,
so my heart beats incessantly.
Like the rock’s age-old ore
my sorrow remains forever the same.
Aufenthalt
Rauschender Strom, brausender Wald,
Starrender Fels mein Aufenthalt.
Wie sich die Welle an Welle reiht,
Fliessen die Tränen mir ewig erneut.
Hoch in den Kronen wogend sich’s regt,
So unaufhörlich mein Herze schlägt.
Und wie des Felsen uraltes Erz
Ewig derselbe bleibet mein Schmerz.
