" A moment's love
Can and shall
Make the world perfect."

“I wanted to change the world.
But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.”

- Aldous Huxley

Poems about the World

~

Solemn Hour

by Rainer Maria Rilke

Whoever now weeps somewhere in the world,
weeps without reason in the world,
weeps over me.

Whoever now laughs somewhere in the night,
laughs without reason in the night,
laughs at me.

Whoever now wanders somewhere in the world,
wanders without reason out in the world,
wanders toward me.

Whoever now dies somewhere in the world,
dies without reason in the world,
looks at me.
