FAIRY TALES OF A CIRCLE

Countless fairy tales of a circle Sophie dreamt.
A royal circle, a sky-blue jewel
which is sheltered by mighty dream circles.
The gleaming awakening of a breathing circle.
The calibrating of a pure circle.
Reresounding and resounding circles.
Firs-green circles.
Sea-green circles.
A circle in the labour pains,
a gyrating circle.
The long way of the good circle.
The circle of the wheel.
The circle of the coin.
A circle of primeval times.
The long way of the bad circle.
The circle of a festive meeting of living
circles
which breaks out in the call:
” High Sophie Taeuber and her fairy tales of a circle lives! “
A circle on which nicely arranged the words
stand:
” Long our earthly light and our earthly
darkness lives! “
A circle from which an infinite wing tree
grows
with uncountable blossoming bright wings
under which Sophie sits
and paints buoyant dreams.
Countless fairy tales of a circle dreamed by Sophie.

(Sophie Taeuber-Arp was as well a famous artist and the wife of Hans Arp - he dedicated this poem to Sophie)
