I got positive comments for my new chapter "The sound of writing" by my supervisor Wikshåland today, and now I am planning Zender-analysis no. 3: "The sound of poetic images". It explores the third Hölderlin lesen-work, which contains nine short "poetic images" from the huge, complex and heavily commented poem "Patmos". I am pondering much over the fascinating first image Zender has cut out of the text:
"... furchtlos gehn / Die Söhne der Alpen über den Abgrund weg / Auf leichtgebaueten Brüken."
"...fearless over / The chasm walk the sons of the Alps / On bridges lightly built."
(Translation: Michael Hamburger)
