LL perhaps a nearly three century precursor to George Sand. Sonnet Viii quite a poem of point/counterpoint.............. Good night !

Google translation:
Thus she walks in the same circle,
The time, according to their old way,
On their way deaf and blind.
The unencumbered human child
Expecting the next moment
An unhappy strange new happiness.
The sun goes and returns,
When the moon comes down and the night falls,
The hours down the weeks,
The weeks bring the seasons.
From the outside nothing ever again.

TB: Nice poems. Leaving "her thin, receding icicle." instead of hope in the jar is curious.

TS... nice initials ! 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry... Whoa, quite the accomplishment. Interesting use of a meme as the title of her poem... Beautiful poetics; very heavy/dense poem. Deserves more study.

Tried to improve a bit the Gg translation of Ludwig Tieck´s poem:
Time
Thus time repeats the eternal circle,
According to its old ways,
On its path, deaf and blind,
The unencumbered human child
Expecting each moment
The unhoped for bout of happiness.
The sun wanishes and returns,
The moon rises and the night falls,
The hours pursue the weeks,
The weeks bring the seasons.
From the outside nothing ever changes.
SG-Very contemporanean, intriguing poem

LT: The poem does scan better with your translation. I'm interested in SH's thoughts on Emily Dickinson: "The Gorgeous Nothings: Emily Dickinson's Envelope Poems" (2013) and My Emily Dickinson (1985); SH's poem is a surreal treat.
