Saint-Andre Translates Kaufmann

Peter Saint-Andre has translated one of Walter Kaufmann's German poems, and a touching little poem it is. Thank you Peter!

Kaufmann is better known for all sorts of other things, but I like him a lot as a poet. At least, I Iike his English poetry. I don't know German, so I haven't been able to make sense of his German poetry.

Peter is better known for all sorts of other things too, but I also like him a lot as a poet.

So having Peter translate Kaufmann is a dream combination for me.

What could be sweeter
Than having Peter
Translate Walter
Without falter?
