Herman Hesse Noble Prize Autobiography ]

Hmmm, this page could use a little more attention.  I'd almost forgotten about it.  Thanks, Michelle, for reminding me it existed.

 

My Saints, Gods, Goddesses, Heroes and Heroines         

 

 

Herman Hesse                       Where am I going to sleep tonight? Who cares! What is the world doing? Have new gods been discovered, new laws, new freedoms? Who cares! But up here a primrose is blossoming and bearing silver fuzz on its leaves, and the light sweet wind is singing below me in the poplars, and between my eyes and heaven a dark golden bee is hovering and humming --- I care about that. lt is humming the song of happiness, humming the song of eternity. Its song is my history of the world.
