"I am too alone in the world,
and not alone enough to make every moment holy.
I am too tiny in this world,
and not tiny enough just to lie before you like a thing,
shrewd and secretive.
I want my own will, and I want simply to be with my will,
as it goes toward action,
and in the silent, sometimes hardly moving times
when something is coming near,
I want to be with those who know secret things
or else alone."
(Rilke)
