What is my stay, what is my crying, what is my patience?
What is my coming, what is my misery, what is my sitting?
If I were a poet today
Why did you leave my heart in aversion?
Why did worries come one after the other upon me
And make me a guiding spirit?
Oh Lord, make my mission easy for me
And let me fight a war to ascend
And ascend to the paradise of eternity
Spare us the evil of soldiers
And have mercy on us, oh Lord
And let us begin with steadfastness
Oh my brothers, are you not tired of sitting
And we are raped and you are averse to us?
Have you left our land
And declared it your appointment
So when will I reach eternity?
And tear the chains like a wolf.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
