Translated from Krümmel’s “The Granite Matrix”, written some time in the period 1743-1819.

The Epoch of Anguish
Abandon Thine visions of
Calm, green Hills
An Almond doth fall to the ground!

Let go all Illusions, those
Telling of Peace
An Almond now splinters the floor!

Pandemonium Reigns
Dreams are Abdicated
Choose an Almond
Choose thine Demise!
