“Put out my eyes: and I shall see you, too, seal up my ears: and I shall hear you still, and without feet I yet can go to you, and with no mouth, adjure you and I will. Break off my arms, and I shall hold you fast even with my heart, as though it were a hand; arrest my heart, my brain to throb is sworn, and if into my brain you fling a brand, yet on my very blood you will be borne.” — Rainer Maria Rilke
Put out my eyes: and I shall see you, too,
seal up my ears: and I shall hear you still,
and without feet I yet can go to you,
and with no mouth, adjure you and I will.
Break off my arms, and I shall hold you fast
even with my heart, as though it were a hand;
arrest my heart, my brain to throb is sworn,
and if into my brain you fling a brand,
yet on my very blood you will be borne.
