Markings, 1955, 114. The first edition is Dag Hammarskjöld, Vägmärken, published in English as Markings, trans. Leif Sjöberg and W. H. Auden. Two further editions are especially useful: Bernhard Erling, trans. and commentary , A Reader’s Guide to Dag Hammarskjöld’s Waymarks; and Anton Graf Knyphausen, trans., Zeichen am Weg: Das spirituelle Tagebuch des UNGeneralsekret ärs. Erling offers a highly literal translation and often useful background; Knyphausen/Fröhlich has an excellent introduction and a consistently more accurate translation than Sjöberg/Auden. Readers may want to look at the Italian translation, Guido Dotti, trans., Tracce di Cammino; and the French, C. G. Bjurström and Philippe Dumaine, Jalons. 11.
