An eclectic collection of poems that carry some kind of semiotic weight. Goethe: Vermächtnis ~ Legacy (English version) This the Great Olympian's very last poem and it carries within a code if powerful significance. Here is an English translation (the best of an average lot) and the powerful German original. As a matter of interest, this poem was significant to Steiner also. Goethe: A Fairy Tale: The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily (Highly valued and often commented on by RS) A little poetic contribution by our old friend Michel Leunig. Thanks! homeland Constantine P. Cavafy - a relatively unknown poet I came across: hidden things
