We vanish into life… “Is it strange, then, that in the face - TopicsExpress



          

We vanish into life… “Is it strange, then, that in the face of their inevitable mutual defeat – the irreparable and ultimate defeat of understanding, which life will never allow to tame it, and for which life will always remain insurmountably alien; and the inevitable defeat of action, which will never succeed in ordering the world, which would pacify the longing for order, for structure, for the stability inscribed in every action – is it strange that tasting the bitterness of this defeat on their lips, “we looked at each other and gazed on the green meadows over which the cool evening was running just then and we wept together”? But then life was dearer to me than all my wisdom ever was.”
