Friedrich Nietzsche
Now and Then
As heavy as my heart, as gloomy is the time,
And never Enough...

I have broken with the legacy of old
That my childhood bliss
Conjured up in my memory.
I have broken (with) that which held me (back)
In my childhood faith:
I have toyed with my heart.
And almost had it robbed from me.

And have you found it? Gone is gone!
Only tears!...
