    Hyperion's Song of Destiny (Schicksalslied). Third stanza.

    From the novel "Hyperion" (1799), by Friedrich Hoelderlin.

    Yet to us is given //
    To rest nowhere, //
    Suffering humanity //
    Shrinks and blindly falls from //
    One hour to the next, //
    Like water from cliff //
    To cliff thrown, //
    For years down into the unknown. //

    Translated by Peter Lach-Lewinsky.
