Listening to my little airport's new song, spent the day revisiting Celan, Bei Dao, and German poetry with GPT. Celan is the poet who influenced Bei Dao the most. GPT: *Todesfuge (Death Fugue)* is often considered the most important poem after WWII. His influence in German literature is almost 'constitutional.' Celan compressed poetry into a black hole-like density. He is the one who pushed language to its absolute limits.

After that, follow GPT to understand the poem layer by layer in Cantonese, Simplified Chinese, English, and German.
