“In the dark times will there be singing? Yes there will also be singing about the dark times”
The text is taken from a series of poems by Bertholdt Brecht entitled “The Svendborg Poems”, written during his exile in Denmark during World War 2.
There was once a little man who lived peacefully in a little house, and one day a powerful official came to his door and said, "Will you serve me?" The little man did not say a word, but he let the official into his house, and for seven years, he bowed down to the official, and fed him, and served him. Finally, the official grew so fat and indolent that he died. Then the little man quickly wrapped the official's body in a blanket and threw it out of the house. Then he washed the bedstead, whitewashed the walls, breathed a sigh of relief and answered: "No."
Otto Friedrich on Bertholdt Brecht
