Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.

Novalis (via quotemadness)

Die Poesie heilt die Wunden, die der Verstand schlägt.

Que reste-t-il de lui dans la tempête brève ? Qu'est devenu mon coeur, navire déserté ? Hélas ! Il a sombré dans l'abîme du Rêve !

Der Hölle Rache

Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,

Tod und Verzweiflung

Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!

Fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen,

Sarastro Todesschmerzen,

So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr.

So bist du meine

Meine Tochter nimmermehr.

Verstossen sei auf ewig,

Verlassen sei auf ewig,

Zertrümmert sei'n auf ewig

Alle Bande der Natur

Wenn nicht durch dich!

Sarastro wird erblassen!

Hört, Rachegötter,

Hört der Mutter Schwur!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart,

Death and despair flame about me!

If Sarastro does not through you feel

The pain of death,

Then you will be my daughter nevermore.

Disowned may you be forever,

Abandoned may you be forever,

Destroyed be forever

All the bonds of nature,

If not through you

Sarastro becomes pale! (as death)

Hear, Gods of Revenge,

Hear a mother’s oath!

Ich möchte fast sagen, das Chaos muß in jeder Dichtung durch den regelmäßigen Flor der Ordnung schimmern.

Odi et amo. Quare id faciam fortasse requiris. Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior. I hate and I love. Why I do this, perhaps you ask. I know not, but I feel it happening and I am tortured.
