Du Meine Seele
Du meine Seele, du mein Herz, du meine Wonne, o du mein Schmerz, du meine Welt, in der ich lebe, mein Himmel du, darin ich schwebe, o du mein Grab, in das hinab ich ewig meinen Kummer gab! Du bist die Ruh’, du bist der Frieden, du bist der Himmel, mir beschieden. Daß du mich liebst, macht mich mir wert, dein Blick hat mich vor mir verklärt, du hebst mich liebend über mich, mein...
Life as a Long Dream
“Life and dreams are leaves of the same book. The systematic reading of this book is real [waking] life, but when the reading hours (that is, the day) are over, we often continue idly to turn over the leaves, and read a page here and there without method or connection: often one we have read before, sometimes one that is new to us, but always in the same book. Such an isolated page is ...

Have you ever been in love (even if only for an hour)?
What is one thing that gave you an incredible amount of joy?
What was the best year of your life?
I hope...

And For No Reason
And
For no reason
I start skipping like a child.
And
For no reason
I turn into a leaf
That is carried so high

For no reason
A thousand birds
Choose my head for a conference table,
Start passing their
Cups of wine
And their wild songbooks all around.
And
For every reason in existence
I begin to...

Some reflections on a quote...
“Art corrupts because by an attractive eloquent commentary upon human affairs it apes a sort of insight, a unified vision, which in its true form is a spiritual achievement. (Corruptio optimi pessima.) Bad art damages us in obvious ways by prompting false egoistic fantasy. But even serious art is dangerous, or is especially dangerous, because it resembles the good, it is a spurious short-cut to...
