Hello!
I need to find a certain poem in german, and I have very little information to work with. One of the lines translated to english is roughly:
I present to you the life of the flower I did not pick for you.
I seem to remember that the author was somebody I'd heard of, a very famous one, but I can't for the life of me remember who.
This is very important to me, any help or hint is greatly appreciated!
thank you
/Kristoffer
More information would be necessary. The name of the author, the period, the name of the book where it appeared...
I Googled some of the words in German & got: "Ich habe heute ein paar Blumen für dich nicht gepflückt, um dir ihr Leben mitzubringen."
"I did not pick a few flowers for you today to bring you their lives."
By Christian Morgenstern (which means morning star): apparently, tho, it is not from a poem but is an aphorism.
