+True, it is strange to live no more on earth,
+no longer follow the folkways scarecely learned;
+not to give roses and other especially auspicious
+things the significance of a human future;
+to be no more what one was in infinitely anxious hands,
+and to put aside even one's name, like a broken plaything.
+Strange, to wish wishes no longer. Strange, to see
+all that was related fluttering so loosely in space.
+And being dead is hard, full of catching-up,
+so that finally one feels a little eternity.–
+But the living all make the mistake of too sharp discrimination.
+Often angels (it's said) don't know if they move
+among the quick or the dead. The eternal current
+hurtles all ages along with it forever
+through both realms and drowns their voices in both.
