This time, I was in some sense forced to write an entry that is way more personal for me. To say farewell to a cool guy.

(De Hermann Hesse a reflexiones que yo misma me hago buscando la verdad de la existencia humana)

"De acuerdo con mi experiencia, el peor enemigo y corruptor de los hombres es la pereza mental y el ansia de tranquilidad que les conduce a lo colectivo, a las comunidades de dogmática fijamente establecida; ya sean religiosas o políticas.
Ni los estados ni la fuerza han determinado el proceso de humanización que debe ser continuamente sostenido para que el hombre alcance su madurez y cada vez sea menos necesaria la dominación del hombre por el Estado"

"No veo el ideal humano en ninguna virtud o credo determinado, y considero que lo más alto a que pueden aspirar los hombres es la armonía más perfecta del alma del individuo"

Hermann Hesse, 1921

Ni la religión, ni el estado, ni la ciencia, ni ninguna ideología, han de etiquetar tu ser ni tu sentir de manera determinante y estática. Somos seres sexuales, sociales, dinámicos, deseosos de contacto en todas sus variantes y equipados para ello con nuestro maravilloso cuerpo. Estamos hechos para el contacto físico: casi dos metros cuadrados de piel sensible al tacto, a la presión, a la temperatura, al dolor y al placer. Nuestros sentidos captan e interpretan estímulos internos y externos a través de órganos especializados para ello. Cada uno somos un milagro, y nuestra responsabilidad, atender nuestra naturaleza y nuestra verdad. Autogobierno responsable es la clave.

Let me share my favorite in-story welcome message in all of #literature. It's spoken by Pablo in STEPPENWOLF by #HermannHesse (occasionally misquoted in translation):

"'This little theater of mine has as many doors into as many boxes as you please, ten or a hundred or a thousand, and behind each door exactly what you seek awaits you. It is a pretty cabinet of pictures, my dear friend; but it would be quite useless for you to go through it as you are. You would be checked and blinded at every turn by what you are pleased to call your personality. You have no doubt guessed long since that the conquest of time and the escape from reality, or however else it may be that you choose to describe your longing, means simply the wish to be relieved of your so-called personality. That is the prison where you lie.'"

Another guy who upbraids/upbraided his readers a bit, huh? Though not overtly.

@IngridAusOL
Lese gerade sehr viel #HermannHesse.
Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass er mir nach so vielen Jahren, im hier und jetzt, wieder so viel zu geben hat.
Da ist so viel Verstehen und Verständnis in seinen Worten.

@Dustsailor

Ich weiß jedenfalls, was er gern gehabt hätte, denn #HermannHesse hatte am Bodensee einen wunderschönen, sehr naturnahen Garten, den es noch heute gibt 😍😍😍

#GutenMorgen,

1910 schrieb #HermannHesse die Erzählung "Die Stadt". Sie beginnt und endet mit diesen Worten:

"Es geht vorwärts!" rief der Ingenieur, als auf der gestern neugelegten Schienenstrecke schon der zweite Eisenbahnzug voll Menschen, Kohlen, Werkzeuge und Lebensmittel ankam.

...

"Es geht vorwärts!", rief ein Specht, der am Stamme hämmerte, und sah den wachsenden Wald und den herrlichen, grünenden Fortschritt auf Erden zufrieden an.

Wie wohl einst unsere Erzählung enden wird?

"This is why I am continuing my travels - not to seek other, better teachings, for I know there are none, but to depart from all teachings and all teachers and to reach my goal by myself or to die."

I know little about this collection of essays and verse except that, since it's Hesse, it's as much reflection as observation; oh, and there's a lot of watercolor paintings by him!

I en avlägsen framtid, efter förfalls- och krigsepoken, har en utopisk munkliknande institution uppstått där man ägnar sig åt konstnärliga och vetenskapliga studier för dess egen skull, och där glaspärlespelet utgör dess höjdpunkt.

La vita non risparmia i figli suoi più belli e spesso gli esseri più stupendi sono costretti ad amare proprio quello che li manda in rovina.
