Original: Weiß, was sich uns regt, ohne Gewicht, was wir tauschen. Weiß und Leicht: laß es wandern. Celan ~ Weiß und Leicht https:

Two lines from Paul Celan's poem 'Weiss und Leicht' — 'Weiss, was sich uns regt, ohne Gewicht, was wir tauschen' — are being passed around in German-speaking book and poetry circles, paired with photography by Benjamin Everett. Readers are quoting the verse's meditation on knowing what stirs us while letting go of what we exchange, appreciating Celan's compressed lyric style.
