“Als Esther wieder im Auto saß hatte er ihr einen längeren Text gesendet; 'Über die Geduld' von Rainer Maria Rilke Man muss Geduld haben Mit dem Ungelösten im Herzen und versuchen, die Fragen selber lieb zu haben, wie verschlossene Stuben, und wie Bücher, die in einer sehr fremden Sprache geschrieben sind. Es handelt sich darum, alles zu leben. Wenn man Fragen lebt, lebt man vielleicht allmählich, ohne es zu merken, eines fremden Tages, in die Antworten hinein.”

“My love has gone across the sea To find a country far and fair He sailed into the gilded west And lo, my heart will never rest Until my love returns to me Or I set out to find him there. Come home, come home! I sing to thee My love, come home and rest thy head I'll watch for you the winter long And sing for you a summer song And if you can't return to me Then I will sail to you instead Through tow'ring wave and shriek of gale I'll aim my vessel ever west And steer it by the cord that bound My heart to yours, until you're found And should you find my body pale And wrecked upon the loamy shale Rejoice, my love, and call me blessed! In death, my love, I loved you best”
