there are not only hints to the "kindertotenlieder" but also to the poem "funeral blues" by w.h.auden which starts similarly to "vater": "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. the poem can be seen here http://homepages.wmich.edu/~cooneys/poems/auden.stop.html, it has even been sung: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slDNSH7a84c. |
