In Secret We Thirst Translated From Hermann Hesse Poem by Paul Amrod
In Secret We Thirst Translated From Hermann Hesse
Graceful, spiritual and arabesque-like
Our life seems like that of fairies
In gentle dances to turn the void,
To which we sacrificed our being and present.
The beauty of dreams and fair play,
So gently hovering, so carefully tuned,
Glowing deeply sunken in your serene face
Longing for night, for blood, for barbarism.
In emptiness, without compulsion and need,
we emancipate our lives, endlessly ready to play,
nonetheless secretly we thirst for reality!
After procreation and birth and after our sufferings and death
