Additional quotes by Friedrich Hölderlin

Hield mij aan't leven der mensen dit hart maar niet meer gebonden,
dat van liefde niet aflaat, hoe graag zou ik mét u hier wonen!

Eagles live in the darkness,
And the sons of the Alps
Cross over the abyss without fear
On lightly-built bridges.
***
Growing weak on the separate mountains — Then give us calm waters;
Give us wings, and loyal minds
To cross over and return.

Das gibt dem Menschen seine ganze Jugend, daß er Fesseln zerreißt.
