I am a star in the firmament that observe the world, despises the world and consumed in its heat. I am the sea by night in a storm the sea shouting that accumulates new sins and to the ancient makes recompense.

I am the passion without words without stones of the hearth, without weapons in the war, is my same force that make me sick.
Hermann Hesse
