das lied von der erde, ‘the sky remains blue forever/ and the earth will remain for long/ and
bloom again/ in spring./ but you, man,/ how long do you have to live?/ not hundred years do you have to enjoy/ all the transient pleasures/ of this earth.’ (music by gustav mahler, poem by li-tai-po, translated from the chinese by hans bethgen) images from the via campesina march in rostock on the 3rd of june.

under the roses, the gardens/ (the brass of the military band)/ under the
mud/ (the brass of the military band)/ under the bed…’
(caetano veloso)
