Sten Nadolny Quote

Und dann der Herbst! Unausstehlich, wenn man selber herbstelt! Alte Bunker erspähte ich, bröckelnde Mauern, erste gelbe Blätter, Morgennebel, Abendrauch. In früheren Jahren war bei mir das erste Anzeichen von Herbst immer eine Nachdenklichkeit, ein frommes Gefühl, eine Bereitschaft zu dienendem Fleiß – natürlich eine Spätfolge aus der Schulzeit! Im Herbst wurden neue, glatte, saubere Hefte angefangen, die erste Seite immer in Schönschrift.
