More than just an advertisement

I still remember the first time I saw this advertisement of the German newspaper "Süddeutsche Zeitung" in the cinema.

I got so fascinated by its 47s of beauty, the music, the images and specially the poem from Martin Kießling. 

Just decided to make a simple post of it to share! 

The Poem (in German)

Du kannst so Vieles erst verstehen

Wenn du dir selbst die Neugier lässt

Wer Augen schliesst um Schönes nur zu sehen

Der wird den Blinden gleich und Vieles ihm entgehen

Von all dem weltgewordenem Rest

Gestatte dir, dich hinzuneigen

Zu dem, was dich zur Frage drängt

Das ist uns Menschen seltsam eigen

Drum möge man uns bitte zeigen

Wie alles stets zusammenhängt

(Martin Kießling)

I tried to translate it into English. The result follows and I hope it make some sense.

The poem (in English)

You can only understand many things

When you open yourself to the curiosity

The one, who closes his eyes to see only the beautiful

He becomes equal to the blind and many things will pass him by

From all the rest, that also became part of the world

Allow yourself to lean towards

To the things, that urges you to question

This is a strange peculiarity of the human beings

So, may one please show us

How everything is steadily interrelated

(Martin Kießling)

Cheers everyone!
