obituary

Margreta Diersch, the poet and writer, is no longer among the living. An insidious ailment set too early a goal for her industrious, successful work. (...) Margreta Diersch was a real, true, lovable human being. Through all of her work, love sounds like a hot admonition, which sees its highest goal in the comradeship between man and woman and thus fills life with a soothing touch of romance and tenderness even in gloomy hours - gives us those "rosy hours", because the hearts go completely one in desires and goals. (...) "Have you never found out", she has Sibylle Sonderward say, who, as Margreta Diersch once told me, expressed her real wanting and feeling in particular, "... that one can hear that on cheering melodies that Hearts fill us with sweetness and woe, people can fly away ... blissfully liberated, laughing and exulting up into the enticing stars, where no cruel bonds bind us, where human words cannot stone us? "
