Oh, Suebi
As read in Albert Camus' The Rebel:
I need that, in the original German.
I know it's incomplete, I don't care.
And openly I pledged my
heart to the grave and suf-
fering land, and often in the
consecrated night, I promised
to love her faithfully until
death, unafraid, with her
heavy burden of fatality, and
never to despise a single one
of her enigmas. Thus did I
join myself to her with a
mortal cord.
Hölderlin:
The Death of Empedocles
I need that, in the original German.
I know it's incomplete, I don't care.
