Erich Fried
this site contains the german originals
& my own translations
i hope despite my incomplete english
you get the confusing depth
of Erich Fried's verses
ashes
reckless artistic nature
learning process
anxiety and doubt
earn and bear
constructive self criticism
speechless
preservation of materia
strange child
liberation from the big idols
need knows no command
of the inner freedom
abandoned room
a collector
reasons
one agitated poet's questions
the edge
what it is
anxiety & doubt
don't doubt of
someone
who's saying
he's anxious
but be anxious of
someone
who's saying
he's without a doubt
Angst und Zweifel
Zweifle nicht
an dem
der dir sagt
er hat Angst
aber hab Angst
vor dem
der dir sagt
er kennt keinen Zweifel
first published 1974
in 'Gegengift' ('Antitoxin')
