I stumbled over a translation of one of Ernst Jandl's poems the other day, so this may become an occasional theme...
Library
all those letters
that can’t get out of their words
all those words
that can’t get out of their sentences
all those sentences
that can’t get out of their texts
all those texts
that can’t get out of their books
all those books
covered with all that dust
the good cleaner lady
with the duster
(tr. by Peter Lach-Newinsky)
