... to deviantART, I just made myself a new account. My main account is ~
Ratafluke; ~
Nebelstreif will be dedicated to writings. I feel it's better to have two separate accounts for photography and poetry. Keeps things more organized than having both of them in one gallery. That way, people can watch ~
Ratafluke for pictures and ~
Nebelstreif for poems. (Of course, you are welcome to watch both accounts, if you like all my stuff!) Besides, when writing descriptions for my photos sometimes I end up with little poems, and now I can enter those into the poetry gallery as well, without having more or less the same deviation twice in one gallery.
The name Nebelstreif means "streak of mist" (pronounced something like nable-shtrife). It comes from Goethe's
Erlkönig (translation
[link]), and goes to Lake of Tears'
A Foreign Road ;]
"Mein Sohn, was birgst Du so bang Dein Gesicht?" -
"Siehst, Vater, Du den Erlkönig nicht?
"Den Erlenkönig, mit Kron und Schweif?" -
"Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."
I recall the crossroads, the junction of ways
The misty morning fog, where I chose my faith
PS: I always strive to write in-depth comments (and hope to receive the same!). Works quite well for photography. However I'm a noob to commenting on poetry, so don't expect too much in the beginning.
