Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-23-08  sneaky pete: Heinrich Heine: Der Atlas

Ich unglückselger Atlas! eine Welt,
Die ganze Welt der Schmerzen, muß ich tragen,
Ich trage unerträgliches, und brechen
Will mir das Herz im Leibe.

Du stolzes Herz! du hast es ja gewollt!
Du wolltest glücklick sein, unendlich glücklich
Oder unendlich elend, stolzes Herz,
Und jetzo bist du elend.

Jun-23-08  myschkin: Jeg ulykkelige Atlas! En verden,
all smertes verden må jeg bære,
Jeg bærer det utålelige, og briste
vil mitt hjerte i min kropp.

Du stolte hjerte, du har jo selv ønsket det!
Du ville være lykkelig, uendelig lykkelig,
eller evig elendig, stolte hjerte,
og nå er du elendig.

  monopole2313: Never attained the body of a Charles Atlas or the rating of a Robert Atlas. Still get sand kicked in my face. https://www.hoganmag.com/blog/the-a...

  HeMateMe: Some players try too hard. It's almost like they put the world on their shoulders...
Jan-05-24  FM David H. Levin: I recall seeing Charles Atlas on the American television game show "What's My Line." Even though he was over 90 years old, his muscular development was still noticeable when he wore a tee shirt.
