ein seliger Sprung in die Ewigkeit

a blessed leap into eternity.
to express the sublime in the pedestrian absolutely.
i am only a knight of infinite resignation.
would that i had faith, in some onething.
is it only the absurd that can save me? must i never gaze on the stars, and yet believe that i will hold them in my hands someday?
i can swim in life, but for this mysterious floating i am too heavy.

to a life without faith.

  1. I just came across your poem after reading Fear and Trembling. It's lovely.
