Klingsor's Last Summer ( Rework A)

"Winter will come and go, and those destined to meet will meet again. So we shouldn't dwell on regrets, but rather learn to look forward. But from now on, we will never meet again. The part of me that you changed will take your place and accompany me forever."

Beautifully thoughtful  snippet by Herman Hesse. One of my favourite authors when i was in my 20s.

I recommend Siddhartha & Steppenwolf and other books.(If you are searching for some meaning, some direction and some clarity.) A film was made of Steppenwolf with German actor: Max von Sydow.  A film was also made of Siddhartha. Picador (in the 70s ) was the book publisher.

Herman Hesse was popular in the 50s,60s and 70s. An indication of his  influence is found in the momentum of the  global sexual revolution  in the West and the growth of Eastern mysticism during that space. His books left a mark on the hippie movement,of which i was one. His contribution waned markedly but he remains a waypoint on the walk towards Heaven. I'm thankful to Cindy for her slice of translated memory.
