"This spring the birds came back
again too early.
Rejoice, O reason: instinct can err,
too."

This terrifying world is not devoid of
charms,
of the mornings
that make waking up worthwhile.

Good and evil—
they knew little of them, but knew
all:
when evil triumphs, good goes into
hiding;
when good is manifest, then evil lies
low.
Neither can be conquered
or cast off beyond return.
Hence, if joy, then with a touch of
fear;
if despair, then not without some quiet hope.
Life, however long, will always be
short.
Too short for anything to be added.

"Nothing can ever happen twice.
In consequence, the sorry fact is
that we arrive here improvised
and leave without the chance to
practice."
