Grief Poetry

Der Jüngling am Bache: An der Quelle saß der Knabe, Blumen wand er sich zum Kranz, Und er sah sie fortgerissen, Treiben in der Wellen Tanz. Und so fliehen meine Tage, Wie die Quelle, rastlos hin! Und so bleichet meine Jugend, Wie die Kränze schnell verblühn!

Sämtliche Gedichte von Egon Schiele – lernen Sie die andere Seite des Genies kennen. Die kurzen Skizzen, meist einfache Sätze mit starker Suggestionskraft, kreieren eine Atmosphäre des Malerischen. Verstärkt wird dieser Eindruck durch die häufige und gezielte Verwendung von Farbadjektiven. Wenn Schiele schreibt, trennt er sich nicht von der Malerei, er versucht – im Gegenteil – seine Worte „rollrundschwarzglänzend“, „zittergün“ oder „rot“ anzumalen.

I often think about our youth. It was indeed a strangely shaped toy, with a short body dragging a very long tail, spreading like wings, refusing to leave. A lamp is still on, but a song has been sung. A play has not ended, a love has reached the end of the road. We salute you. And the new curtain is about to be drawn. Maybe that's what human life is like, ending, starting, starting again, then ending. No matter what, we have to shoulder our suffering and happiness, moving forward, don't turn around.
