Hermann Hesse Quote
Lament No permanence is ours; we are a waveThat flows to fit whatever form it finds:Through day or night, cathedral or the caveWe pass forever, craving form that binds.Mold after mold we fill and never rest,We find no home where joy or grief runs deep.We move, we are the everlasting guest.No field nor plow is ours; we do not reap.What God would make of us remains unknown:He plays; we are the clay to his desire.Plastic and mute, we neither laugh nor groan;He kneads, but never gives us to the fire.To stiffen to stone, to persevere!We long forever for the right to stay.But all that ever stays with us is fear,And we shall never rest upon our way.
