Today it's massive, the hole, the void of you and I've fallen in again...
Filled with silent despair, still I hear your voice see your face
I fear the day may come when I wont ...
Wont doesn't look right, the word is all wrong.
My heart doesn't beat right..
Right, nothing seems right.
nothing is everywhere.
For those of us that can not have...
Extinguish Thou My Eyes
Extinguish Thou my eyes:I still can see Thee,
deprive my ears of sound:I still can hear Thee,
and without feet I still can come to Thee,
and without voice I still can call to Thee.
Sever my arms from me, I still will hold Thee
with all my heart as with a single hand,
arrest my heart, my brain will keep on beating,
and Should Thy fire at last my brain consume,
the flowing of my blood will carry Thee.
Translated by Albert Ernest Flemming
Rainer Maria Rilke
