About

Ich möchte ein Leuchtturm sein; in Nacht und Wind; für Dorsch und Stint; für jedes Boot; und bin doch selbst ein Schiff in Not. This is the German original of a poem by Wolfgang Borchert. I can't think of a better description of myself. Here are two translations. The first is almost word-for-word direct, while the second is more poetic - and probably better. I wish to be a lighthouse; in night and wind; for cod and smelt; for every boat; and yet I am myself a ship in distress. I’d be a light in stormy night for boats and cods and smelties – but I’m a skiff against the odds myself in diff- iculties!
