I think,

that's the way I am,

an exceptional case.

The representative of dreams is the one

who is looking.

If life were uniform,

then it would be the worst.

The seeker is truly a prince.

Take your life as it is.

Be an artist in your art!

To serve instead of rule,

conformity appears.

It's as if she said:

"Be ready!"

And the carter came,

to take life and limb,

how the pig is attached to it

and the fish.

Sweet dream,

mixed with luck,

with the blossom,

which pleases us.

Just as man edifies himself deeply in his life,

with comfort, hope and higher things,

every right remains.

Evil as the doctor knows it

stay away from me,

because it matures in a stuck being,

that only thinks what is tried and tested.

But it takes days,

to germinate,

the power of life,

like everything transfigured by love.

It will be measured to me, like others,

according to my own measure.

And the bone structure of the conformists,

he sways to the beat.
