My favorite part of the Halloween intros for Steam Train
Rainer Maria Rilke: You See, I Want a Lot
You see, I want a lot. Perhaps I want everything: the darkness that comes with every infinite fall and the shivering blaze of every step up.
So many live on and want nothing, and are raised to the rank of prince by the slippery ease of their light judgments.
But what you love to see are faces that do work and feel thirst.
You love most of all those who need you as they need a crowbar or a hoe.
You have not grown old, and it is not too late to dive into your increasing depths where life calmly gives out its own secret.
Du siehst, ich will viel
Du siehst, ich will viel. Vielleicht will ich Alles: das Dunkel jedes unendlichen Falles und jedes Steigens lichtzitterndes Spiel.
Es leben so viele und wollen nichts, und sind durch ihres leichten Gerichts glatte Gefühle gefürstet.
Aber du freust dich jedes Gesichts, das dient und dürstet.
Du freust dich Aller, die dich gebrauchen wie ein Gerät.
Noch bist du nicht kalt, und es ist nicht zu spät, in deine werdenden Tiefen zu tauchen, wo sich das Leben ruhig verrät.
