Abstract
Eighty-nine prose pieces on 9-128. The first, Die Einsame (9-10) is a reflective piece. A spruce lives on the brow of a cliff. Some spruces in the valley say she is too proud. Younger spruce wonder if she is lonely. She is neither. She is strong. At night a giant among storms picks her up and uses her as a support. When the spruces criticize her the next morning, asking What did she have from life? The rock itself answers Freedom, far sight, and clear air -- three things worth dying for. In Der Spatz (25), a sparrow finds a whole slice of bread and sits on it. A pigeon urges him to share it, since it is too much for him. Share? Who has ever shared with me? I will eat the whole thing even if I burst! In Mächtiger Feind (26), the lion hisses that man fears him. The snake rasps that man trembles before her. But man succumbs to me will-less and he does not get away from me answers the louse. In Zwei Unzufriedene (96), a flower said How dreary to blossom for my short day of life only in this little garden and she poked her curious head out through the fence. A goat, long dissatisfied with mere grass, ate the fire-red tulip with pleasure. These are fables worth thinking through! T of C at the back. Were Germans publishing many books in 1944?
