Anne: Not many people know this -- only me, and now you -- robin's eggs are this color because they are the only bird that flies with its mouth open. The sky gets inside of them and colors the eggs....
My mother has a Robin's nest in the garden shed. She's been treading very carefully, so as not to disturb them. At the moment, they seem quite relaxed with her comings and goings.
unglaublich, das wußte ich überhaupt nicht, was für zauberhaft türkisfarbene Eier die Rotkehlchen haben. Ein umwerfend schönes Bild und wenn das kein Glück bringt, mit dem Nest über der Tür!! Aber noch schöner ist Deine poetische Erklärung, wie die Farbe in die Eier gekommen ist, ach ich liebe das!!

Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes.
... that a whole world of lament arose, in which
all nature reappeared: forest and valley,
road and village, field and stream and animal;
and that around this lament-world, even as
around the other earth, a sun revolved
and a silent, star-filled heaven, a lament-
heaven, with its own, disfigured stars ...
Ein Klage-Himmel, "a lament-heaven," from Rilke's "Orpheus. Eurydike. Hermes." Poetry's post-rupture, post-lapsus, post-death-of-Eurydice dream of recreating that primal world -- Eden, childhood, Orpheus's singing -- where word and thing were one.
