Du musst das Leben nicht verstehen – Oskar Werner rezitiert Rainer Maria Rilke

Every day, each day and day by day for you and for all of us. For our joy and happiness: One MUSICAL EDIFICATION from “gottseidankfrank’s” TRUFFLECHEST.
MUSIC is the BEST FORTIFICATION for HUMANKIND, thereby the HEART is SATISFIED, INVIGORATED and REFRESHED.

Du musst das Leben nicht verstehen Oskar Werner rezitiert Rilke
(You must fail to understand life)
Poems are music. This poem certainly is - completely and utterly. For the day - and forever.
I have to give a translation:

You must fail to understand life;
then it will turn to festival.
And let every day happen to you
as a child, in passing,
from every breeze,
accepts a gift of many blossoms.

To gather and to save them,
that doesn't occur to the child.
She loosens them gently from her hair,
in which they so gladly were tangled,
and, to youth's sweet years, holds
her hands stretcheed out for more  

 Oskar Werner is a great one. Must think of him and a scene from the film "The Ship of Fools". Oskar cries. Here they are tears of inevitability. Here they are pearls of joie de vivre. Allow yourselves this brief minute.
Postscript: The Ship of Fools also features Lee Marvin. He's coming up tomorrow with his "Wandering Star".
