Etoile Nocturne

“in the union of nature, loyalty is no dream! We part only to be more intimately at one, more divinely at peace with all, with each other. We die so as to live.”
― Friedrich Hölderlin, Hyperion

“Then and Now In younger days each morning I rose with joy, To weep at nightfall; now, in my later years, Though doubting I begin my day, yet Always its end is serene and holy.”
― Friedrich Hölderlin, Selected Poems and Fragments

“You have lost faith in anything great; you are doomed, then, doomed to perish unless that faith returns, like a comet from unknown skies.”
― Holderlin
