"The broken splintered branch

Hanging year after year

Drily rattles its song in the wind

Without foliage, without bark,

It’s barren and faded

Tired of living too long, tired of dying too long,

It’s song is hard and tenacious

It sounds arrogant, hiding the fear

One more summer,

Another long winter."

-Hermann Hesse
