Moerike songs
feb - May, Oct-nov 1888: Moerike songs (53 in 42 days)
"Just now i have written an ew song [...] a heavenly song, I tell you! quite heavenly! marvellous! By God! it will soon br over with me, for my facility increases from day to day. How far shall I yet go? I dread thinking of it. [...] Ideas, dear friend, are terrible. I feel it. My cheeks glow with excitement like molten iron, and this state is to me not a pure joy but a ravishing torture. [...] What does the future hold in store for me? This question torments and alarms me and ocupies my thoughts in sleeping and waking. Am I one that is called? am I in the long-run indeed one of the chosen? God forbid! That would be a fine business for me!" [EN57-8]
