by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Sieh, wie sie zueinander erwachsen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Sieh, wie sie zueinander erwachsen: in ihren Adern wird alles Geist. Ihre Gestalten beben wie Achsen, um die es heiß und hinreißend kreist. Dürstende, und sie bekommen zu trinken, Wache und sieh : sie bekommen zu sehn. Laß sie ineinander sinken, um einander zu überstehn.
