i killed my god, but i need to worship.

Ich wandle angeblich
Auf Goethes Spuren.
Und Frage mich,
Ob damals die Hänge wohl leerer
Das Wasser klarer
Und die Strände einsamer waren.
Doch schön ist es allemal.
me, a german speaker, reading Schiller: god i wish i spoke this language

Rainer Maria Rilke, tr. by David Ferry, from “Song of the Little Creeple at the Street Corner,”

I became like a sea that swallows down everything and sinks deeper and deeper into itself.
Georg Büchner, from Complete Plays and Prose: “Danton’s Death”

I have an endless scream in me,
