" I have a longing other than longing.
other than what fills the chests of the years.
Things approach it as if
they know no other destination.
They say: Without it we would not have become.

As if it is greater than itself,
this longing rises, extends, and is never satisfied.
It wishes to release itself from itself
and to fasten sky to earth. "
