(sign at a railroad crossing in Kenya) 

In a poem, one line may hide another line, 
As at a crossing, one train may hide another train. 
That is, if you are waiting to cross 
The tracks, wait to do it for one moment at 
Least after the first train is gone. And so when you read 
Wait until you have read the next line- 
Then it is safe to go on reading. 
In a family one sister may conceal another, 
So, when you are courting, it's best to have them all in view 
Otherwise in coming to find one you may love another. 
One father or one brother may hide the man, 
If you are a woman, whom you have been waiting to love. 
So always standing in front of something the other 
As words stand in front of objects, feelings, and ideas. 
One wish may hide another. And one person's reputation may hide 
The reputation of another. One dog may conceal another 
On a lawn, so if you escape the first one you're not necessarily safe; 
One lilac may hide another and then a lot of lilacs and on the Appia 
     Antica one tomb 
May hide a number of other tombs. In love, one reproach may hide another, 
One small complaint may hide a great one. 
One injustice may hide another-one colonial may hide another, 
One blaring red uniform another, and another, a whole column. One bath 
     may hide another bath 
As when, after bathing, one walks out into the rain. 
One idea may hide another: Life is simple 
Hide Life is incredibly complex, as in the prose of Gertrude Stein 
One sentence hides another and is another as well. And in the laboratory 
One invention may hide another invention, 
One evening may hide another, one shadow, a nest of shadows. 
One dark red, or one blue, or one purple-this is a painting 
By someone after Matisse. One waits at the tracks until they pass, 
These hidden doubles or, sometimes, likenesses. One identical twin 
May hide the other. And there may be even more in there! The obstetrician 
Gazes at the Valley of the Var. We used to live there, my wife and I, but 
One life hid another life. And now she is gone and I am here. 
A vivacious mother hides a gawky daughter. The daughter hides 
Her own vivacious daughter in turn. They are in 
A railway station and the daughter is holding a bag 
Bigger than her mother's bag and successfully hides it. 
In offering to pick up the daughter's bag one finds oneself confronted by 
     the mother's 
And has to carry that one, too. So one hitchhiker 
May deliberately hide another and one cup of coffee 
Another, too, until one is over-excited. One love may hide another love 
     or the same love 
As when "I love you" suddenly rings false and one discovers 
The better love lingering behind, as when "I'm full of doubts" 
Hides "I'm certain about something and it is that" 
And one dream may hide another as is well known, always, too. In the 
     Garden of Eden 
Adam and Eve may hide the real Adam and Eve. 
Jerusalem may hide another Jerusalem. 
When you come to something, stop to let it pass 
So you can see what else is there. At home, no matter where, 
Internal tracks pose dangers, too: one memory 
Certainly hides another, that being what memory is all about, 
The eternal reverse succession of contemplated entities. Reading  
    A Sentimental Journey look around 
When you have finished, for Tristram Shandy, to see 
If it is standing there, it should be, stronger 
And more profound and theretofore hidden as Santa Maria Maggiore 
May be hidden by similar churches inside Rome. One sidewalk 
May hide another, as when you're asleep there, and 
One song hide another song; a pounding upstairs 
Hide the beating of drums. One friend may hide another, you sit at the 
     foot of a tree 
With one and when you get up to leave there is another 
Whom you'd have preferred to talk to all along. One teacher, 
One doctor, one ecstasy, one illness, one woman, one man 
May hide another. Pause to let the first one pass. 
You think, Now it is safe to cross and you are hit by the next one. It  
     can be important 
To have waited at least a moment to see what was already there. 

 
(signe à un croisement de chemin de fer au Kenya) 

Dans une poésie, une ligne peut cacher une autre ligne, comme à un 
croisement, un train peut cacher un autre train. C'est-à-dire, si tu 
attends pour croiser les voies, attente pour la faire pendant un 
moment du moins après que le premier train est allé. Et ainsi quand 
tu as lu l'attente jusqu'à ce que tu aies lu la prochaine ligne-Alors 
il est sûr d'aller sur la lecture. Dans une famille qu'on soeur peut 
cacher des autres, ainsi, quand tu vais au devant, il est le meilleur 
pour les avoir toutes en vue autrement en venant pour trouver un tu 
peus aimer des autres. Un père ou un frère peut cacher l'homme, si 
tu es une femme, que tu avais attendu pour aimer. En se tenant 
tellement toujours devant quelque chose l'autre comme mots se tenir 
devant des objets, des sentiments, et des idées. Un souhait peut 
cacher des autres. Et une réputation de la personne peut cacher la 
réputation des autres. Un chien peut cacher des autres sur une 
pelouse, ainsi si tu échappes au premier tu n'es pas nécessairement 
sûr; Un lilas peut cacher l'un autre et puis beaucoup de lilas et 
sur l'Appia Antica une peau de mai de tombeau un certain nombre 
d'autres tombeaux. Dans l'amour, un reproche peut cacher des autres, 
une petite plainte peut cacher grand. Une injustice peut cacher un 
autre-un colonial peut cacher des autres, un uniforme rouge 
d'éclatement un autre, et des autres, une colonne entière. Un bain 
peut cacher un autre bain comme quand, après s'être baigné, on 
marche dehors dans la pluie. Une idée peut cacher des autres: La vie 
est la vie simple de peau est incroyablement complexe, comme dans la 
prose de Gertrude Stein une phrase cache des autres et est une autre 
aussi bien. Et dans le laboratoire un l'invention peut cacher une 
autre invention, une soirée peut cacher des autres, une ombre, un nid 
des ombres. Un rouge foncé, ou un bleu, ou un pourpre-ce est une 
peinture par quelqu'un après Matisse. On attend aux voies jusqu'à ce 
qu'il passe, à ces doubles ou, parfois, similarités cachés. Une 
peau de mai de jumeau identique l'autre. Et il peut y avoir plus 
dedans là ! L'obstétricien regarde fixement la vallée de la 
variété. Nous avions l'habitude de vivre là, mon épouse et I, mais 
l'une vie cachée une autre vie. Et maintenant elle est allée et je 
suis ici. Une mère vivacious cache une fille gawky. La fille cache sa 
propre fille vivacious alternativement. Ils sont dans la gare de A et 
la fille juge un sac plus grand que le sac de sa mère et le cache 
avec succès. Dans l'offre pour prendre le sac de la fille on se 
trouve confronté à la mère et doit porter celui-là, aussi. 
Tellement un auto-stoppeur peut délibérément cacher une autre et 
une tasse de café une autre, aussi, jusqu'à ce qu'on soit 
surexcité. Un amour peut cacher un autre amour ou le même amour que 
quand "sonne je t'aime" soudainement faux et on découvre le 
derrière prolongé de meilleur amour, comme quand "je suis plein des 
doutes" me cache "suis certain au sujet de quelque chose et c'est que" 
et un rêve peut cacher des autres de même que bien connu, toujours, 
aussi. Dans le jardin d'Éden Adam et veille peut cacher le vrais Adam 
et veille. Jérusalem peut cacher autre Jérusalem. Quand tu viens à 
quelque chose, l'arrêt a laissé elle passer ainsi toi peut voir quoi 
encore est là. À la maison, n'importe où, les voies internes posent 
des dangers, trop: une mémoire cache certainement des autres, ce 
être quelle mémoire est tout environ, la succession renversée 
éternelle des entités contemplées. En lisant un voyage Sentimental 
regarder autour quand tu l'as fini, pour le shandy de Tristram, pour 
voir s'il se tient là, devrais être, plus fort et plus profond et 
theretofore caché comme Santa Maria Maggiore peut être caché par 
les églises semblables à l'intérieur de Rome. Une peau une autre de 
mai de trottoir, comme quand tu es endormi là, et une peau de chanson 
une autre chanson; un broyage en haut cachent le battement des 
tambours. Un ami peut cacher des autres, tu t'assieds au pied d'un 
arbre avec un et quand tu te lèves au congé il y a des autres le 
long dont tu aurais préféré parler à tous. Un professeur, un 
docteur, une extase, une maladie, une femme, une peau une autre de mai 
d'homme. La pause a laissé l'un premier passage. Tu penses, 
maintenant il est sûr de croiser et tu es frappé par le prochain. Il 
peut être important d'avoir attendu au moins un moment pour voir ce 
qui était déjà là. 

 
(Zeichen an einer Eisenbahnüberfahrt in Kenia) 

In einem Gedicht kann eine Linie eine andere Linie verstecken, wie an 
einer Überfahrt, ein Zug einen anderen Zug verstecken kann. Das 
heißt, wenn Sie warten, um die Schienen zu kreuzen, Wartezeit, zum 
sie für einen Moment zu tun, mindestens nachdem der erste Zug 
gegangen wird. Und so, als Sie Wartezeit lasen, bis Sie die folgende 
Linie-Dann gelesen haben, zu gehen ist sicher, auf Messwert. In einer 
Familie, die eine Schwester andere verbergen kann so wenn Sie 
umwerben, es, ist am besten, sie alle in der Ansicht anders beim 
Kommen zu haben, ein zu finden Sie andere lieben können. Ein Vater 
oder ein Bruder können den Mann verstecken, wenn Sie eine Frau sind, 
die Sie gewartet haben, um zu lieben. So immer, stehend vor etwas das 
andere als Wörter, vor Gegenständen, Gefühlen und Ideen stehen. Ein 
Wunsch kann andere verstecken. Und ein Renommee der Person kann das 
Renommee von anderen verstecken. Ein Hund kann andere auf einem Rasen 
verbergen, also, wenn Sie das erste entgehen, sind Sie nicht 
notwendigerweise sicher; Eine Flieder kann eine andere und dann Menge 
Fliedern und auf dem Appia Antica verstecken ein Grab Mai Fell eine 
Anzahl von anderen Gräbern. In der Liebe kann ein Vorwurf andere 
verstecken, eine kleine Beanstandung kann ein großes verstecken. Ein 
Unrecht kann ein anderes-ein Kolonial verstecken kann andere, eine 
brüllende rote Uniform andere und andere, eine vollständige Spalte 
verstecken. Ein Bad kann ein anderes Bad wie verstecken, wenn, nachdem 
es gebadet hat, man heraus in den Regen geht. Eine Idee kann andere 
verstecken: Das Leben ist einfaches Fell-Leben ist unglaublich 
kompliziert, wie in der Prosa von Gertrude Stein ein Satz andere 
versteckt und anderer außerdem ist. Und in Labor eins kann die 
Erfindung eine andere Erfindung verstecken, ein Abend kann andere, 
einen Schatten, ein Nest verstecken der Schatten. Ein dunkelrot oder 
ein Blau oder purpurrot-dieses Eins ist ein Anstrich durch jemand nach 
Matisse. Ein wartet an den Schienen, bis es überschreiten, an diesen 
versteckten Doppelten oder manchmal an Gleichheiten. Ein eineiiger 
Zwilling Mai Fell das andere. Und es kann sogar mehr innen geben dort! 
Der Geburtshelfer starrt die Senke des Var an. Wir pflegten, dort zu 
leben, meine Frau und I, aber ein verstecktes Leben ein anderes Leben. 
Und jetzt wird sie gegangen und ich bin hier. Eine vivacious Mutter 
versteckt eine gawky Tochter. Die Tochter versteckt ihre eigene 
vivacious Tochter der Reihe nach. Sie sind A im Bahnhof und die 
Tochter hält einen Beutel grösser als Beutel ihr Mutter und 
versteckt ihn erfolgreich. Beim Antrag, den Beutel der Tochter 
aufzuheben findet sich man konfrontiert von der Mutter und muß dieses 
tragen, auch. So ein Tramper mag eine andere und eine Schale Kaffee 
andere absichtlich verstecken auch bis man übererregt ist. Eine Liebe 
kann eine andere Liebe oder die gleiche Liebe wie verstecken, wenn 
"ich liebe Dich" plötzlich falsches schellt und man das verweilende 
hintere der besseren Liebe entdeckt, wie, wenn "ich von den Zweifeln" 
verstecke "mich bin sicher über etwas voll bin und es, daß" und ein 
Traum andere verstecken kann, wie immer weithin bekannt ist auch ist. 
Im Garten von Eden Adam und Vorabend kann das reale Adam und den 
Vorabend verstecken. Jerusalem kann ein anderes Jerusalem verstecken. 
Wenn Sie zu etwas kommen, ließ Anschlag es überschreiten also Sie 
kann sehen, was sonst dort ist. Zu Hause egal wo, interne Schienen 
Gefahren aufwerfen, auch: ein Gedächtnis versteckt zweifellos andere, 
dieses Sein welches Gedächtnis ganz ungefähr ist, die ewige 
Rückreihenfolge der erwogenen Wesen. Eine Sentimental Reise lesend, 
wenn herum schauen, Sie, für Tristram Shandy, zu sehen, wenn es dort 
steht, es sollten sein beendet haben, stärker und profunder und das 
theretofore, das als Santa Maria Maggiore versteckt wird, durch 
ähnliche Kirchen innerhalb Roms versteckt werden mag. Ein 
Bürgersteige Mai Fell anders, wie, wenn Sie dort schlafen und ein 
Liedfell ein anderes Lied; Fell oben zerstoßen das Schlagen der 
Trommeln. Ein Freund kann andere verstecken, sitzen Sie am Fuß eines 
Baums mit einem und wenn Sie zum Urlaub aufstehen, gibt es andere, 
denen Sie es vorgezogen haben würden, zu sprechen mit allen entlang. 
Ein Lehrer, ein Doktor, eine Ekstase, eine Krankheit, eine Frau, ein 
Mann Mai Fell anders. Pause ließ den ersten einen Durchlauf. Sie 
denken, jetzt zu kreuzen ist sicher und Sie werden durch das folgende 
geschlagen. Es kann wichtig sein gewartet zu haben, daß mindestens 
ein Moment sieht, was bereits dort war. 

 
(sinal em um cruzamento da estrada de ferro em Kenya) 

Em um poema, uma linha pode esconder uma outra linha, como em um 
cruzamento, um trem pode esconder um outro trem. Isto é, se você 
estiver esperando para cruzar as trilhas, espera para fazê-la para um 
momento ao menos depois que o primeiro trem é ido. E assim quando 
você leu a espera até que você leia a linha-Então seguinte é 
seguro ir na leitura. Em uma família que uma irmã possa esconder 
outra, assim, quando você cortejar, ele é o mais melhor tê-la toda 
na vista de outra maneira na vinda encontrar um você pode amar outro. 
Um pai ou um irmão podem esconder o homem, se você for uma mulher, 
quem você esteja esperando para amar. Assim sempre estando na frente 
de algo o outro como palavras estar na frente dos objetos, dos 
sentimentos, e das idéias. Um desejo pode esconder outro. E uma 
reputação da pessoa pode esconder a reputação de outra. Um cão 
pode esconder outro em um gramado, assim que se você escapar do 
primeiro você não é necessariamente seguro; Um lilac pode esconder 
o outro e então muitos dos lilacs e no Appia Antica um hide de maio 
do túmulo um número outros de túmulos. No amor, uma reprimenda pode 
esconder outra, uma queixa pequena pode esconder grande. Um injustice 
pode esconder outro-um colonial pode esconder outro, um uniforme 
vermelho blaring outro, e outro, uma coluna inteira. Um banho pode 
esconder um outro banho como quando, após se banhar, um anda para 
fora na chuva. Uma idéia pode esconder outra: A vida é vida simples 
do hide é incredibly complexa, como na prosa de Gertrude Stein uma 
sentença esconde outra e é outra também. E no laboratório um a 
invenção pode esconder uma outra invenção, uma noite pode esconder 
outra, uma sombra, um ninho das sombras. Um vermelho escuro, ou um 
azul, ou um roxo-este são uma pintura por alguém após Matisse. Um 
espera nas trilhas até que passem, estes dobros ou, às vezes, 
likenesses escondidos. Um hide de maio do gêmeo idêntico o outro. E 
pode haver mesmo mais dentro lá! O obstetrician olha no vale do Var. 
Nós usamo-nos viver lá, meu esposa e I, mas uma vida escondida uma 
outra vida. E é ida agora e eu estou aqui. Uma mãe vivacious esconde 
uma filha gawky. A filha esconde sua própria filha vivacious por sua 
vez. Estão na estação railway de A e a filha está mantendo um saco 
mais grande do que o saco da sua mãe e esconde-o com sucesso. Em 
oferecer escolher acima o saco da filha se encontra-se confrontado 
pela mãe e tem-se que carregar esse, demasiado. Assim um hitchhiker 
pode deliberadamente esconder uns outro e um copos do café outro, 
demasiado, até que um esteja sobreexcitado. Um amor pode esconder um 
outro amor ou o mesmo amor que quando "eu te amo" soa de repente falso 
e um descobre o de trás lingering do amor melhor, como quando "eu 
estou cheio das dúvidas" me escondo "estou certo sobre algo e é que" 
e um sonho pode esconder outro como está sabido bem, sempre, 
demasiado. No jardim de Eden Adam e eve pode esconder o Adam e o eve 
reais. Jerusalem pode esconder um outro Jerusalem. Quando você vem a 
algo, o batente deixou-o o passar assim que pode ver que outro está 
lá. No repouso, não importa onde, as trilhas internas pose perigos, 
demasiado: uma memória esconde certamente outra, esse ser que 
memória está toda aproximadamente, a sucessão reversa eternal de 
entidades contempladas. Lendo uma viagem de Sentimental olhar ao redor 
quando você a terminou, para a cerveja com limonada de Tristram, para 
ver se estiver estando lá, deve ser, mais forte e mais profundo e 
theretofore escondido como Santa Maria Maggiore pode ser escondido por 
igrejas similares dentro de Roma. Um hide outro de maio do sidewalk, 
como quando você estiver adormecido lá, e um hide da canção uma 
outra canção; um pounding upstairs esconde a batida dos cilindros. 
Um amigo pode esconder outro, você senta-se no pé de uma árvore com 
uma e quando você se levanta à licença há outro de quem você 
preferiria falar a tudo ao longo. Um professor, um doutor, um ecstasy, 
uma doença, uma mulher, um hide outro de maio do homem. A pausa 
deixou a primeira uma passagem. Você pensa, agora é seguro cruzar-se 
e você é batido pelo seguinte. Pode ser importante ter esperado ao 
menos um momento para ver o que era já lá. 

 
(muestra en una travesía del ferrocarril en Kenia) 

En un poema, una línea puede ocultar otra línea, como en una 
travesía, un tren puede ocultar otro tren. Es decir, si usted está 
esperando para cruzar las pistas, espera para hacerla para un momento 
por lo menos después de que se va el primer tren. Y cuando usted 
leyó espera hasta que usted ha leído la li'nea-Entonces siguiente es 
tan seguro ir en la lectura. En una familia que una hermana puede 
encubrir otra, así pues, cuando usted está cortejando, él es el 
mejor tenerlos todos en la visión de otra manera en venir encontrar 
uno usted puede amar otro. Un padre o un hermano puede ocultar al 
hombre, si usted es una mujer, a que usted ha estado esperando para 
amar. Tan siempre estando parado delante algo el otro como palabras 
estar parada delante de objetos, de sensaciones, y de ideas. Un deseo 
puede ocultar otro. Y una reputación de la persona puede ocultar la 
reputación de otra. Un perro puede encubrir otro en un césped, así 
que si usted escapa primer usted no es necesariamente seguro; Una lila 
puede ocultar otro y entonces muchos de lilas y en el Appia Antica una 
piel de mayo de la tumba un número de otras tumbas. En amor, una 
reprobación puede ocultar otra, una queja pequeña puede ocultar 
gran. Una injusticia puede ocultar otro-uno colonial puede ocultar 
otra, un uniforme otro del rojo que resuena, y otro, una columna 
entera. Un baño puede ocultar otro baño como cuando, después de 
bañarse, uno camina hacia fuera en la lluvia. Una idea puede ocultar 
otra: La vida es vida simple de la piel es increíblemente compleja, 
como en la prosa de Gertrude Stein una oración oculta otra y es otra 
también. Y en el laboratorio uno la invención puede ocultar otra 
invención, una tarde puede ocultar otra, una sombra, una jerarquía 
de sombras. Un rojo oscuro, o un azul, o uno pu'rpura-este es una 
pintura alguien después de Matisse. Uno espera en las pistas hasta 
que él pasa, estos dobles o, a veces, semejanzas ocultados. Una piel 
de mayo del gemelo idéntico la otra. ¡Y puede haber más adentro 
allí! El obstétrico mira en el valle del Var. Vivíamos allí, mi 
esposa e I, pero una vida ocultada otra vida. Y ahora la van y estoy 
aquí. Una madre vivacious oculta a hija gawky. La hija oculta a su 
propia hija vivacious alternadamente. Están en el ferrocarril de A y 
la hija está sosteniendo un bolso más grande que el bolso de su 
madre y lo oculta con éxito. En el ofrecimiento tomar el bolso de la 
hija uno se encuentra enfrentado por la madre y tiene que llevar 
aquél, también. Tan un autostopista puede ocultar deliberadamente 
otra y una taza de café otra, también, hasta que uno está 
sobreexcitado. Un amor puede ocultar otro amor o el mismo amor que 
cuando "te amo" suena repentinamente falso y uno descubre el detrás 
persistente de un amor mejor, como cuando "soy lleno de dudas" me 
oculto "estoy seguro sobre algo y es que" y un sueño puede ocultar 
otro al igual que bien sabido, siempre, también. En el jardín de 
Eden Adán y víspera puede ocultar el Adán y la víspera verdaderos. 
Jerusalén puede ocultar otra Jerusalén. Cuando usted viene algo, la 
parada dejó lo pasar así que le puede considerar qué más está 
allí. En el país, no importa dónde, las pistas internas plantean 
peligros, también: una memoria oculta ciertamente otra, el ese ser 
qué memoria está todo alrededor, la sucesión reversa eterna de 
entidades comtempladas. Leyendo un viaje de Sentimental mirar 
alrededor cuando usted la ha acabado, para la cerveza con limonada de 
Tristram, ver si está estando parada allí, debe ser, más fuerte y 
más profundo y theretofore ocultado como Santa María Maggiore puede 
ser ocultado por las iglesias similares dentro de Roma. Una piel otra 
de mayo de la acera, como cuando usted está dormido allí, y una piel 
de la canción otra canción; un pounding arriba oculta el golpeo de 
tambores. Un amigo puede ocultar a otro, usted se sienta en el pie de 
un árbol con uno y cuando usted se levanta a la licencia hay otro a 
lo largo de las cuales usted habría preferido hablar con todos. Un 
profesor, un doctor, un ecstasy, una enfermedad, una mujer, una piel 
otra de mayo del hombre. La pausa dejó el primer un paso. Usted 
piensa, es seguro ahora cruzarse y el siguiente le golpea. Puede ser 
importante haber esperado por lo menos un momento para ver cuál 
estaba ya allí.
