And the depths of the comments emerges from this poem from the late work of Gottfried Benn:
Travel
Do you think Zurich is as
a lower city,
where miracles and ordinations
always as content?
Do you think from Habana,
white and hibiskusrot,
would break an everlasting manna
for your Wüstennot?
Station Road and Rüen,
Boulevard, Lido, Laan -
even on the Fifth Avenueen
It falls to the void -
Alas, in vain to drive!
late until you learn to:
remain silent and keep
which is bounding self.
