For example...
J. Rovan
For example, it never occured to me before how many faces there are.
There are multitudes of people, but there are many more faces,
because each person has several of them
Menschen
Oh, there are people who wear the same face for years;
naturally it wears out, gets dirty, splits at the seams,...
stretches... like... gloves
es bricht in die Falten
gloves worn during a long journey...
They are thrifty...uncomplicated people
they never change it
never even have it changed
Oh... it's good enough they say
... and who can convince them of the countrary?
Of course, since they have several faces,
you might wonder what they do with the others
Why, they keep them in storage?
Their children will wear them.
But sometimes it also happens that their dogs go out wearing them
ihre Hunde damit ausgehen
And why not?
