A Song on the End of the World

I have placed a WAV example of Czesław Miłosz  “ A Song on the End of the World”  or Piosenka o końcu świata at http://poets.aule-browser.com in Curl markup.

The Curl RTE browser plugin from Sumisho/CSK/Curl is required to see or hear the poem.  Links are provided to an English translation by Anthony Milosz and to the Czeslaw Milosz CD at Poetry Foundation.

Albrecht Haushofer

At http://poets.aule-browser.com/haushofer-1.html I have added "Der Vater" by Albrecht Haushofer, a victim of the Gestapo in the last days of Nazi Berlin.

The poem is in my Curl poetry markup, but the text is not selectable as I have no copyright information for the version which I have available.

The page requires the Curl RTE browser plugin available at http://www.curl.com/download/rte

UNICODE text for poetry pages

This is a useful page if you do any work on web pages with literary text: Joel on Software.

Especially if you have any text prepared with Microsoft Windows Notepad, you need to know about their use of the initial BOM bytes in your "text" file.

UNICODE "UTF-8" and the topic of character-encoding is essential for working with translation text prepared in ascii, ansi or in some 16-bit encoding.
