“The earth with yellow pearsAnd overgrown with roses wildUpon the pond is bent,And swans divine,With kisses drunkYou drop your headsIn the sublimely sobering water.But where, with winter come, am ITo find, alas, the floweres, and whereThe sunshineAnd the shadow of the world?Cold the walls standAnd the wordless, in the windThe weathercocks are rattling.” WorldEarthWaterDivineWallColdKissingShadowRoseWinterYellowBentAlasPondsSwans Author:Friedrich Holderlin
