  1. Hermann Hesse _ Bäume. Betrachtungen und

    Oh oak tree, how they have pruned you. Now you stand odd and strangely shaped!You were hacked a hundred timesuntil you had nothing left but spite and will!I am like you, so many insults and humiliations could not shatter my link with life. And every day I raise my headbeyond countless insults towards new light.What in me was once gentle, sweet and tenderthis world has ridiculed to death.But my true self cannot be murdered. I am at peace and reconciled. I grow new leaves with patiencefrom branches hacked a hundred times.In spite of all the pain and sorrowI'm still in love with this mad, mad world."

  2. Hermann Hesse _ Bäume. Betrachtungen und

    So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.

  3. Hermann Hesse _ Bäume. Betrachtungen und

    Voll Blüten steht der Pfirsichbaum nicht jede wächst zur Frucht sie schimmern hell wie Rosenschaum durch Blau und Wolkenflucht. Wie Blüten geh'n Gedanken auf hundert an jedem Tag -- lass' blühen, lass' dem Ding den Lauf frag' nicht nach dem Ertrag! Es muss auch Spiel und Unschuld sein und Blütenüberfluss sonst wär' die Welt uns viel zu klein und Leben kein Genuss.

  4. Hermann Hesse _ Bäume. Betrachtungen und

    When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. . . . Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all.
