Sometimes we act, go in and out, do this and that, and everything is easy, causual, and unforced; seemingly it could all be done differently. And sometimes, other times, nothing could be done differently, nothing is unforced and easy, and every breath we take is controlled by some outside power and heavy with fate.
What we call the good deeds of our lives, the ones we find easy to tell about, are almost all of that first, "easy" kind, and we easily forget them. Other acts, which we find hard to talk about, we never forgot; they seem to be more ours than others, and they cast long shadows over all the days of our lives.

"A Child's Heart" (a story)

"Klingsor's Last Summer" by Hermann Hesse

Den siste setningen ga meg gåsehud.

Grunnen til at du leser dette på engelsk er det at det ikke er oversatt til norsk? Heller engelsk enn tysk?

Enig, Hesse's setninger har kraft og de treffer det innerste hos leseren - gang på gang.
Jeg vet ikke om denne boken er oversatt til norsk, engelsk fordi jeg har bodd og kjøpt bøker i engelsktalende land.
