Quotes of Book: Vonne Endlichkait
Don't be so hard on yourself,
as if you'd been trapped
and sealed in amber.
Since you passed away
I've been following your trail,
traced only with lost words.
Recently I went looking for the castle
and found it in Bohemia.
You'd given orders for diligent restorers
to renew its façades
on all sides.
They hadn't finished back then,
they're still at it today,
and they will be tomorrow.
Because it crumbles, cracks appear,
mold swells the plaster, withers its bright skin,
on the weather side first.
It comforts me, their toil,
for I too loved you
on all sides, in vain. book-quote
