by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Atmosphäre
Language: German (Deutsch) 
»Die Welt, sie ist so groß und breit,
Der Himmel auch so hehr und weit;
Ich muß das Alles mit Augen fassen,
Will sich aber nicht recht denken lassen.«

Dich im Unendlichen zu finden,
Mußt unterscheiden und dann verbinden.
Drum danket mein beflügelt Lied
Dem Manne, der Wolken unterschied.
