I love this poem here so much - it's probably my favorite among all German poems (as is the poet - Novalis)

I couldn't find an English translation - so I tried to translate it into English myself. It doesn't sound as beautiful as it does in German,
I still want to share it though ...

It's heart warming to see that heart centered people all over the world see finally the same ...
Novalis was also the one who was saying "The heart is the key of life and of the universe"
(unfortunately he died aged 28)

And now the poem:

The one who hears butterflies laugh,
he knows how clouds taste,
he will
in moonlight, undisturbed from fear,
discover the night.

He'll be a plant, if he will,
an animal, a fool, a wise man,
and can in one hour,
cross the entire universe.

He knows that he doesn' t know anything,
as all the others don't know either,
He knows what all the others,
and himself still have to learn though.

The one who feels strange shores in oneself,
and has the courage to stretch out,
he will
bit by bit, undisturbed from fear,
discover himself.

He takes off
downwards to the heights of himself,
he pits oneself calmly
against his own underworld.

The one who hears butterflies laugh,
knows how clouds taste,
he will
in moonlight, undisturbed from fear,
discover the night.

Who lives in peace with oneself,
will die exactly so,
and is then even more alive,
than all his heirs.

Novalis
