En gang om dagen er ensomheten så stor
at man ikke kan stille noget op med den.
Og én gang er lykken.
Indimellem så må man så se at få ordnet sine ting.
Søren Ulrik Thomsen (F. 1956)
Hjemfalden, Vindrose 1991
(On the tram – the local version of Poems on the Underground. Something like this (it’s Danish, by the way):
Once a day the loneliness is so big
that there is nothing to face it with.
And once the happiness.
In between one then has to sort out one’s business.)
