Enshroud for me the teeming broods
Who suck us, unwillingly, into the maelstrom.
No, guide me to the tranquil heaven's strait
Where only for the poet blooms pure delight...

Verhuelle mir das wogende Gedraenge,
Das wider Willen uns zum Strudel zieht.
Nein, fuehre mich zur stillen Himmelsenge,
Wo nur dem Dichter reine Freude blueht...

(Goethe, "Faust", transl. A.Szerba & K.B.)
