„Herr, es liegt ein Traum von dir in meiner Seele, aber ich kann nicht zu dir kommen, denn alle meine Tore sind verriegelt! […] ich bin eingeschlossen in mein ewiges Allein! […] Meine Liebe ist wie Treppen in der Seele: immer, immer bin ich nur in mir! […]“ ✍️Gertrud von le Fort, Hymnen an die Kirche

„What is this longing in my heart, my thoughts? It is loneliness, of course. But what is loneliness? Is it the sense of incompletion, like a severing or clamping of arterial flow, when love cannot express itself or receive the expressed love of others? What binds two souls together like this? 1/2

How without any one of these people the world is a subtly but unmistakably altered place, the dial turned just one or two degrees.“
