Ghost Sonata

"I gaze into the sun

And surely now I see

The ever hidden One

Behind Infinity.

And, beaming forth, the sun

This lyric sang to me:

All men exist through pain-

ful work, as you can see.

Yet this alone his gain,

His immortality,

And blessed is the one

Who helps his enemy.

The seeds that anger sows

Return but ill, you'll see;

The greatest work man knows

Is love and charity.

- August Strindberg
