Hello,

O you who know
did you know that hunger makes eyes shine and thirst dulls them...
O you who know
did you know that you can see your dead mother
and remain without tears
O you who know
Did you know that in the morning you want to die
that at night you're afraid
O you who know
did you know that a day is more than a year
a minute longer than a lifetime
O you who know
Did you know that legs are more vulnerable than eyes...
nerves harder than bones
the core stronger than steel
Did you know that the stones of the path don't cry...
that there's only one word for horror...
than a word for anxiety.
Did you know that suffering has no limit...
horror no boundaries
Did you know that
You know.
Charlotte Delbo (1913-1985) - Auschwitz and after: None of us
will return (Editions de Minuit, 1970)
You who live in peace
Warm in your homes
You who find the evening on your way home
The table set and friendly faces
Consider if it's a man
He who labors in the mud,
Who knows no rest,
Fighting over a loaf of bread,
Who dies for a yes for a no.
Consider whether it's a woman
That the one who lost her name and her hair
And to the strength to remember,
Empty eyes and cold breast
Like a frog in winter.
Don't forget it was,
No, don't forget it:
Engrave these words in your heart.
Think of them at home, on the street,
When you lie down, when you get up;
Repeat them to your children.
Or when your house falls apart;
May sickness overwhelm you,
Let your children turn away from you.
Primo Levi, If it's a man, 1947.
