Der Friede, welcher höher ist als alle Vernunft - Anfang und Ende

I. The Burial of the Dead

    April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.

...

    I sat upon the shore
Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
Shall I at least set my lands in order?
London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down
Poi s’ascose nel foco che gli affina
Quando fiam uti chelidon—O swallow swallow
Le Prince d’Aquitaine à la tour abolie
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
Why then Ile fit you. Hieronymo’s mad againe.
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.
      Shantih     shantih     shantih

T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land, 1922

 

Mögen unsere Wirrköpfe ihren Frieden finden. Angelnd! Frisiert oder nicht!
