Ole Schmidt In Memoriam (1928 - 2010):
SKARREKLIT OG BULBJERG

Ole Schmidt was a Danish conductor and composer, who is particular known for his recordings of the music of Carl Nielsen. He recorded all Nielsen symphonies with London Symphony Orchestra. The poem is written by Klaus Rifbjerg (1931 - 2015), who is a well-known Danish writer of more than 170 novels, books and essays.

Bulbjerg is a limestone cliff in northern Jutland, Denmark, facing the sea. It is the only rock formation in Jutland and the only bird cliff on the Danish mainland. Skarreklit was a 16 meter high rock column in the sea about 70 metres off Bulbjerg. It fell down in a storm on 19 September 1978, but its remaining base can still be seen at low tide. The base of the column was flint, allowing the column to withstand the forces of the waves, long after the sea had eroded the softer limestone around it.

Ikke holde dig i hånden
ikke røre ved dig
ikke tale med dig
ikke se dig

stå på kanten med en havesaks
klippe alt det af
klipsaks
midt i styrken

slynge det i havet ud
være adskilt
Skarreklit og Bulbjerg

(Klaus Rifbjerg)

Not holding your hand
not touching you
not talking with you
not seeing you

standing on the edge with a garden shears
cutting everything off
clip scissors
in the midst of force

hurl it into the sea
being separated
Skarreklit and Bulbjerg

(own translation)
