Wir sind nichts; was wir suchen, ist alles. - Fragment von Hyperion, aus: Neue Thalia, Vierter Band, Hrsg. Friedrich Schiller, Georg Joachim Göschen,… - Friedrich Hölderlin

Wir sind nichts; was wir suchen ist alles. (We are nothing; what we search for is everything.)

We are nothing; what we search for is everything.

¿Qué son los siglos, comparados a ese instante en que dos seres se adivinan y se acercan?

The tragically moderate weariness of the times, whose object is of no real interest to the heart, follows the pull of the spirit of the times without the least moderation and this spirit appears then as something wild and not, like a ghost in daylight, sparing mad at all, but quite pitiless, as the spirit of the always alive unwritten wilderness and the world of the dead.

You have lost faith in anything great; you are doomed, then, doomed to perish unless that faith returns, like a comet from unknown skies.
