A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. If one listens to them silently for a long time, the longing reveals its kernel, its meaning. It is not so much a matter of escaping from one’s suffering, though it may seem to be so. It is a longing for home, for a memory of the mother, for new metaphors for life. It leads home.
―Hermann Hesse, Wandering
What a nice quote. Hermann Hesse got many great quotes about traveling!
He does! I love quoting him because he puts things into words so elegantly and clearly. Very poetic. Thank you and thanks for following!
Absolutely. One of my favorite poet and novelist! You are very welcome 🙂
