Sør-Gjæslingan
ute på det åpne hav
The daisies in the gap of the Ocean
because the daisies are in fact the original name of this archipelago,
Sør-Gjæslingan
out on the open ocean
Den store bygningen heter Fiskarheimen,
der serveres det mat og drikke.
Der finnes også et bedehus.
Og muligheter for overnatting..
The large building called Fiskarheimen (the home of the fishers),
which serves food and drink.
There is also a chapel.
And opportunities for accommodation ..
Juli
Den tynne
tynne hinnen mellom
Gud og vannviddet
solen som et
utropstegn på himmelen
over deg i juli, og under
et like gnistrende dyp,
fiskenes, mens
holmen nærmer seg
tak for tak.
(Arne Ruste)
July
The thin
thin membrane between
God and insanity
sun as an
exclamation point in the sky
above you in July, and below just as sparkling a depth,
the home of the fish, while
the islet is approaching
strokes by strokes.
(a poem by Arne Ruste,
translated by me Viola)
Tørrfisk!
Jeg synes det er kjempegodt!
Stockfish!
I think it tastes really good!
Fiskehjeller.
Og det er der
fisken henges opp
for å tørkes.
Racks.
And that's where
the fish are to be hung up
to dry.
Peace & love
Viola :)
