marsyas, encircled / whilst:

whilst:
is inverted he just – finally – plunges down and
bursts forth gurgling away shrieking – a groan –
and for now only he: marsyas is delivered from horror is –
lastly: he pours away into the expectant land, he has
no escape, is the source

marsyas, umkreist / derweil:

marsyas, umkreist / derweil:

derweil:
ist entäußert ganz stürzt: er ihm – schließlich – entgegen
und quillt es entgurgelt entkreischt ihm – ein ächzen –
und vorerst nur er: vom entsetzen entbunden wird marsyas wird –
endlich: entströmt er ins harrende land er
entrinnt nicht: entspringt
Close
