And Yet I Adore Him. I Think He’s Quite Crazy, And With No Place Or Occupation In Life, And Far From

And yet I adore him. I think he’s quite crazy, and with no place or occupation in life, and far from happy, and philosophically irresponsible – and there is absolutely nobody like him.

Was ich habe, will ich nicht verlieren, aber wo ich bin, will ich nicht bleiben, aber die ich liebe, will ich nicht verlassen, aber die ich kenne, will ich nicht mehr sehen, aber wo ich lebe, da will ich nicht sterben, aber wo ich sterbe, da will ich nicht hin: Bleiben will ich, wo ich nie gewesen bin.

Something tapped me on the shoulder Something whispered, "Come with me," "Leave the world of men behind you, "Come where care may never find you "Come and follow, let me bind you "Where, in that dark, silent sea, "Tempest of the world n'er rages; "There to dream away the ages, "Heedless of Time's turning pages, "Only, come with me." "Who are you?" I asked the phantom, "I am rest from Hate and Pride. "I am friend to king and beggar. "I am Alpha and Omega, "I was councilor to Hagar "But men call me suicide. "I was weary of tide breasting, Weary of the world's behesting, And I lusted for the resting As a lover for his bride. And my soul tugged at its moorings And it whispered, "Set me free. "I am weary of this battle, "Of this world of human cattle, "All this dreary noise and prattle. "This you owe to me." Long I sat and long I pondered, On the life that I had squandered, O'er the paths that I had wandered Never Free. In the shadow panorama Passed life's struggles and its fray. And my soul tugged with new vigor, Huger grew the phantom's figure, As I slowly tugged the trigger, Saw the world fade swift away. Through the fogs old Time came striding, Radiant clouds were 'bout me riding, As my soul when gliding, gliding, From the shadow into day.

Alles war umsonst

Ich war von Arbeit und Studium eingespannt, abgenervt, ausgebrannt. Ich habe es verpasst und als ich vor wenigen Minuten ein neues Album von Friedrich erblickte, war ich ganz aufgeregt. Kopfhörer rein, Album aufgelegt... WHAT WHAT WHAAAAT? <_< Ich verbrenne dann mal meinen Prinz Porno Hoodie. Das Feature von Mark Forster ließ schon böses erahnen, aber das. Nein. Ich weigere mich. Friedrich Kautz, du hast mich enttäuscht.

Laß dich, Geliebte, nicht reun, daß du mir so schnell dich ergeben! Glaub es, ich denke nicht frech, denke nicht niedrig von dir. Vielfach wirken die Pfeile des Amors: einige ritzen, Und vom schleichenden Gift kranket auf Jahre das Herz. Aber mächtig befiedert, mit frisch geschliffener Schärfe Dringen die andern ins Mark, zünden behende das Blut. In der heroischen Zeit, da Götter und Göttinnen liebten, Folgte Begierde dem Blick, folgte Genuß der Begier. Glaubst du, es habe sich lang die Göttin der Liebe besonnen, Als im Idäischen Hain einst ihr Anchises gefiel? Hätte Luna gesäumt, den schönen Schläfer zu küssen, O, so hätt ihn geschwind, neidend, Aurora geweckt. Hero erblickte Leandern am lauten Fest, und behende Stürzte der Liebende sich heiß in die nächtliche Flut. Rhea Silvia wandert, die fürstliche Jungfrau, den Tiber, Wasser zu schöpfen, hinab, und sie ergreifet der Gott. So erzeugte die Söhne sich Mars! — Die Zwillinge tränket Eine Wölfin, und Rom nennt sich die Fürstin der Welt.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Kung-Tse

If the offspring of a plough ox has a reddish coat and perfectly formed horns, even if we won't use it in a sacrifice, would the spirit of the mountains and rivers refuse to accept it?

I am not the first person you loved. You are not the first person I looked at with a mouthful of forevers. We have both known loss like the sharp edges of a knife. We have both lived with lips more scar tissue than skin. Our love came unannounced in the middle of the night. Our love came when we’d given up on asking love to come. I think that has to be part of its miracle. This is how we heal. I will kiss you like forgiveness. You will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms will bandage and we will press promises between us like flowers in a book. I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat on your skin. I will write novels to the scar of your nose. I will write a dictionary of all the words I have used trying to describe the way it feels to have finally, finally found you. And I will not be afraid of your scars. I know sometimes it’s still hard to let me see you in all your cracked perfection, but please know: whether it’s the days you burn more brilliant than the sun or the nights you collapse into my lap your body broken into a thousand questions, you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I will love you when you are a still day. I will love you when you are a hurricane.
