The hand of strangers on otherdoors does not hurt, the breath of gods does not desert, but looms largeas a dream, a prairie within our dream,to which we return, when we need to. Oh blessed plain, oh pointed chasm. II Alone, John Wieners

Merve Emre on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, via some biographies and Walter Benjamin. Goethe’s great tragedy, “Faust: The First Part,” was published that year.
