If you follow what is to be presented to you now with your feelings, you will sense through the words of Christian Morgenstern in a different way what he is and will become for our entire movement. At one point in particular, one will feel deeply touched in one's heart in view of the events of these days. Even though Christian Morgenstern, when he wrote the little poem, of course meant a completely different war from the one we are experiencing today, in view of today's events, what this little poem contains goes deep to the heart.
