Slowly the snail crawls

out of its broken shell, and --


extends its feelers.


Langzaam kruipt de slakDie Schnecke kriecht aus
uit zijn kapotte huis, stulpt --ihrem zerbrochenen Haus --
zijn voelhorens uit.streckt die Fühler aus.

Philosophers think

slowly like a snail, only --


then will they progress.

langzaam als een slak, anders --langsam wie eine Schnecke --
komt hij niet vooruit.so kommt er voran.
