Alcesti

“…und das, was kam, war sie,
ein wenig kleiner fast als er sie kannte
und leicht und traurig in dem bleichen Brautkleid.”

“… He hung back, and that which came, was her,
a little smaller almost than he knew her,
and slight, and sorrowful, in her bleached wedding-dress.”

R. M. Rilke
Alcesti

(ΘΕΡΑΠΑΙΝΑ)
149 κόσμος γ’ ἕτοιμος,
ὧι σφε συνθάψει πόσις.

(MAID)
Yes. The fine clothes in which
her husband will bury her are ready.
