“I no longer thought about the fire under us and the endless cold above us, nor about how thin this crust is which divides the fiery porridge from outer space. I only felt that the night was dark and full of life, of snails and moths, of growing plants, and I knew that there were trout and frogs in the brook. Sometimes the frogs here croak all night long, in a great chorus. There are bats and owls, and deer roam the neighboring forests. The flowers have closed. From the hospital there was not a sound. All was silence. Then a great golden tone rose through the night, and it was followed by new tones. The nightingale had begun, and now filled the world with its abnormal voice.” HopeNatureExistentialism Book:Kruttårnet Source: Kruttårnet
