How truly brilliant and atmospheric 'How Long the Night Is'. It is indeed a little known treasure - a true gem!

Yes, and hopefully my translation will help it become more of a known treasure, especially if other people share it, as you have.

It’s so good, I’ve just restacked it with a comment so that they can do precisely that.

First, thanks for taking the time to read and for the feedback. I call my translations "loose translations" and "interpretations" to let readers know that I am taking certain poetic liberties. Or I say that I am writing "after" the original poet. I enjoyed your anecdote but "Hamlet" might not be as entertaining if reduced to a single word.
