NowhereI am sick from poison. I am sick from a thirst, for which nature has not created a drink. From the ground burst forth streams and springs. I bend down and drink from the veins of the Earth its sacrament. The air overflows with holy rivers. I stretch up and feel my lips wet from white ecstasies. But no´where, no´where ... I am sick from poison. I am sick from a thirst, for which nature has not created a drink. Translated into English by Jenny Nunn in "To a friend".
