“Beauty’s Complaint”
These many signs! No help to me have given.
My friend’s black hand! The bird that’s gone to heaven.
The stony pooch! None like him I see!
Did not the Lamp direct him here to me?
Did not the Lamp direct him here to me?
Far from human friendship, joy and pleasure,
Am I alone, at sad and doleful leisure.
On river, shall a temple never stand?
O why is bridge and time not yet at hand!
O why is bridge and time not yet at hand!
— Goethe, from The Fairy Tale
