This intertextual 'Begegnung' is a modification of the concept of 'Begegnung' found in Celan's speech Der Meridian [The Meridian, 1960], where the very existence of poetry itself is dependent on its 'encounter' with 'das Andere' [the other] or 'das wahrnehmende Du' [the
perceiving
thou] -- a notion consciously engaging with Martin Buber's philosophy of dialogue.

seem to have lost all recollection that they too
were once children; that it never occurred to
them to regard a child as a small human being
living in a half real, half
imaginary
world of
its own; that they never discovered that love
and beauty are a child's Guardian Angels, and
that the golden bridge between the world of
childhood and the world of maturity is a sym-
pathetic imagination; that it never suggested
itself to fathers and mothers that nine-tenths
of a child's fractiousness and naughtiness spring
from physical conditions, and that a merry
laugh, a cheery word, a quarter of an hour of
fresh air, are surer and saner remedies than

forbidden: The Serpent now grown bolder, with many wiles and arguments

the Fruit, relates what persuaded her to eat thereof: Adam at first
