Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Holyland: Exclusive Authorized Translation of "Hilligenlei" Half asleep and dissatisfied, many people merely drag themselves through life; they never really live; they are a burden to those about them. Who cares for their story? There are others whose, childish eyes are full of wonder, who dimly feel, as boys, that great things are reserved for them, and go out into life with unclouded spirits. It would be worth while to tell their story. Never mind; it does not come to much, after all. What do these people make of their lives? They devote themselves to the pursuit of wealth and outward honour and such illusions; they run, they stumble, they fail to find what they seek, and so stumble into their graves. It is a weariness to write their story; one´s hair grows grey in the telling. Not that we expect the superhuman - the people should set out to find kingly crown - no; let them only, while pursuing their illusions, have some hope of finding in the next field a troop of angels instead of a herd of asses: some vague idea that there, under the oak tree at the next turn of the road, the Eternal may be standing with the thousand riddles of the world in His sacred hands, ready to tell them the answer to some. We do ask this; without this a man is incomplete. And so, my troubled, courageous soul, tell story of one who sought for holiness full of unrest, full of hope. With the coming of the dusk the storm cast itself more fiercely upon the sea, striking with its strength the grey waste of desolate waters far and wide.
