Freezing summer

Friedrich Hölderlin

I wrote this hermeneutic reflection on a hot summer day in Washington D.C., on the little terrace of a bed-and-breakfast, close to Dupont Circle and Kramerbooks & Afterwords, one of my favourite bookstores. Wild roses, silent walls and frozen flags – trying to understand Hölderlin.
