“I was walking along the road with two friends
The Sun was setting—
the Sky turned blood-red.
And I felt a wave of Sadness—I paused
tired to Death—Above the blue-black
Fjord and City Blood and Flaming tongues hovered
My friends walked on—I stayed
behind—quaking with Angst—I
felt the great Scream in Nature.”
