Quotation | Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr,Wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben,wird wachen, lesen, lange Briefe schreibenund wird in den Alleen bin und herunruhig wandern, wenn die Blätter treiben.[Whose house is not built now shall build no more,who now is lonely long shall be alone,shall lie awake, and read, long letters write,and restlessly, among the drifting leavesof avenues shall wander, to and fro.]Rilke's autumn poem ["Autumn Day"]. Beautiful and close to home. |
