“Now goes under, and I watch it go under, the sun That will not rise again. Today has seen the setting, in your eyes cold and senseless as the sea, Of friendship better than bread, and of bright charity That lifts a man a little above the beasts that run. That this could be! That I should live to see Most vulgar Pride, that stale obstreperous clown, So fitted out with purple robe and crown To stand among his betters! Face to face With outraged me in this once holy place, Where Wisdom was a favoured guest and hunted Truth was harboured out of danger, He bulks enthroned, a lewd, an insupportable stranger! I would have sworn, indeed I swore it: The hills may shift, the waters may decline, Winter may twist the stem from the twig that bore it, But never your love from me, your hand from mine. Now goes under the sun, and I watch it go under. Farewell, sweet light, great wonder! You, too, farewell,-but fare not well enough to dream You have done wisely to invite the night before the darkness came.”

“Aber eigentlich ist es ja gar nicht unsere Bestimmung, die Wege zu kennen. Es ist gerade unsere Bestimmung, sie nicht zu kennen. Wir kommen nicht auf die Welt, um Antworten zu finden, sondern um Fragen zu stellen. Man tapst sozusagen in einer immerwährenden Dunkelheit herum, und nur mit viel Glück sieht man manchmal ein Lichtlein entflammen. Und nur mit viel Mut oder Beharrlichkeit oder Dummheit oder am besten mit allem zusammen kann man hie und da selber ein Zeichen setzten!”
