Antic Hay, title of Huxley's novel

English to German Art/Literary British fiction
I wonder if the novel has been translated into German, and under what title it was published.

http://www.centerforbookculture.org/dalkey/backlist/huxley.h...

Huxley took the title and the motto from Christopher Marlowe's writings:
http://www.bartleby.com/66/47/37947.html
"My men, like satyrs grazing on the lawns,
Shall with their goat feet dance an antic hay."

P.S. I am not really interested in getting new explanations or translations of the phrase. I am more curious about the novel itself and existing or intended translations of it. Thanks.

Huxley wurde am 26. Juli 1894 in Godalming bei London geboren und besuchte das Eton College sowie zwischen 1913 und 1915 die Universität Oxford. Nach seinem Studium war er für mehrere Zeitschriften tätig und veröffentlichte vier Gedichtbände, darunter "The Burning Wheel" (1916). 1921 erschien sein satirisches Romandebüt "Crome Yellow" ("Eine Gesellschaft auf dem Lande", auch: "Chromgelb"); ihm folgten "Antic Hay" (1923, "Narrenreigen")
