The central element in Kurt Tucholsky’s (1890–1935) eponymous poem (Eyes in the Metropolis) is the fleeting eye contact between two strangers in a pulsating, restless urban life that leaves no room to thrive. Rapid eight-note movement bring to life the hustle and bustle of the big city. Sudden, brief encounters between two people at the end of each verse sound in a calm, short doubtful tone through which time seems to stand still for a moment. Towards the end, the question of the meaning of the encounter (“What was that?”) that repeatedly arises in the thoughts of the lyrical self culminate in a rapid intensification and yet it does not give rise to any hope of a deeper connection. Edition in German.
