#235: Albrecht Haushofer (1903-1945)

Den Dämon liess er in die Welt entwehn.

In a moment of burning sight
and strange sacrifice
Haushofer wrote his poem
'Der Vater'

the world-blindness that keeps us all
somewhat ignorant
     for our own sweet stake
of profound powers
forsook him

and all-knowingly he wrote of his father

The seal my father did break open.
He did not see the breath of evil.
He let the demon drift into the night.

Den Dämon liess er 
           in die Welt 
                                           entwehn.
