auch dort DEIN selbes Wesen riefe,
an dessen Geisterlicht ich
hier mein Sein,
als wie der Schmetterling am Licht, erlabe,
doch
ohne daß mir die vollkommne Gabe
zum Untergang wird und zur
Todespein.
Wie könnte ich von solcher Stätte scheiden,
wo jeder letzte
Glückestraum erfüllt,
verharrte nicht ein ungeheures Leiden,
sogar
von diesem Himmel nur--verhüllt.
Und da mir dessen Stachel ist
geblieben,
wie könnt' ich nun, als brennend von DIR gehn,
um
DICH in jener Welt noch mehr zu lieben,
in der sie DICH, als Sonne,
noch nicht sehn.
Von Liebe so von DIR hinabgezwungen
vom Himmel auf die Erde,
weiß ich doch:
nur immer wieder von DIR selbst durchdrungen,
ertrag' ich freudig solcher Sendung Joch.
DU mußtest DICH als Quell
mir offenbaren,
der unaufhörlich rnir Erneuung bringt.
Nun kann
ich auch gleich DIR zur Hölle fahren,
da mich DEIN Himmel
ewiglich verjüngt.
Wir fanden einen Pfad
So wie ein Mensch, am trüben Tag, der Sonne vergisst,--
sie aber
strahlt und leuchtet unaufhörlich,--
so mag man Dein an trübem Tag
vergessen,
um wiederum und immer wiederum
erschüttert, ja
geblendet zu empfinden,
wie unerschöpflich fort und fort und fort
Dein Sonnengeist uns dunklen Wandrern strahlt.
Überwinde!
Überwinde! Jede Stunde,
die du siegreich überwindest,
sei getrost,
daß du im Pfunde
deines neuen Lebens findest.
Jede Schmach und jede Schande,
jeder Schmerz und jedes Leiden
wird bei richtigem Verstande
deinen Aufstieg mehr entscheiden.
Ohne Erbschuld wirst du funkeln,
abermals vor Enkeln rege,
ungezähltem Volk im Dunkeln
weist ein Sieger Sonnenwege.
Ende dieses Projekt Gutenberg Etextes Wir fanden einen Pfad, von

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US unless
a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not keep eBooks in
compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance of the
official release dates, leaving time for better editing. Please be
encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections, even years after the
official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til midnight of
the last day of the month of any such announcement. The official
release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at Midnight, Central
Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version may
often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish
to do so.
Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg
These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is also a
good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the indexes our
cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an announcement goes
out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext05
or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext05
Or /etext04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want, as it
appears in our Newsletters.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The time
it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours to get any
eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and
analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our projected audience is
one hundred million readers. If the value per text is nominally
estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour in
2002 as we release over 100 new text files per month: 1240 more
eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ We are already on our way to
trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 If they reach just 1-2% of the
world's population then the total will reach over half a trillion eBooks
given away by year's end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, which is
only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated):
