And one day, when the wound burned violently, Siddhartha ferried across the river, driven by a yearning, got off the boat and was willing to go to the city and to look for his son. The river flowed softly and quietly, it was the dry season, but its voice sounded strange: it laughed! It laughed clearly. The river laughed, it laughed brightly and clearly at the old ferryman. Siddhartha stopped, he bent over the water, in order to hear even better, and he saw his face reflected in the quietly moving waters, and in this reflected face there was something, which reminded him, something he had forgotten, and as he thought about it, he found it: this face resembled another face, which he used to know and love and also fear. It resembled his father’s face, the Brahman. And he remembered how he, a long time ago, as a young man, had forced his father to let him go to the penitents, how he had bed his farewell to him, how he had gone and had never come back. Had his father not also suffered the same pain for him, which he now suffered for his son? Had his father not long since died, alone, without having seen his son again? Did he not have to expect the same fate for himself? Was it not a comedy, a strange and stupid matter, this repetition, this running around in a fateful circle?

But Siddhartha went back into the boat (…) tending towards despair, and not less tending towards laughing along at himself and the entire world.

You are suitably at one
with your body and the sun

You’ve read Karl Marx
You’ve taught yourself to dance

You suffered for your art
been joggin’ in the park

You know you should go far
You know you should go …

But there is a question
you are not supposed to mention …

I kill myself
every day, every
now and again
I drown with
all the pain

that’s the way
that’s the way

I kill myself
every day, every
now and again
I drown with
all your pain

that’s the way
that’s the way
