Childhood (Hesse poem)

by Hermann Hesse

Poem Tamir reads ('My farthest valley... O dark gate, O dark hour of death, come forth') about longing for death as a return home to one's dreams; Mia hears in it someone letting themselves fade into a peaceful dream to escape loss, and Tamir hears the struggle of grief as an adversary.
