“In weite Fernen will ich träumen,
Da, wo Du weilst!
Wo aus den schneeig hellen Räumen
Die Bäche in die Seen schäumen!
Da, wo Du weilst!”
(Johann Gustav Droysen in “In weite Fernen will ich träumen”)
Wittem (NL)
The forbidden hiking trail
“O enter with me the gates of delight”
” O enter with me the gates of delight,
The gates of the garden of man’s desire,
Where spirits, touched by heav’nly fire,
Have planted the trees of life.
While we slept in terror of night,
Laden with sorrows, chained and dumb;
Suddenly, while we slept, our heav’n is come.”
(R.S. Bridges, no title in Invocation to Music)
