_I was walking along a path with two friends
the sun was setting
I felt a breath of melancholy
Suddenly the sky turned blood-red
I stopped and leant against the railing,
deathly tired
looking out across flaming clouds that hung
like – blood and a sword over the
deep blue fjord and town
My friends walked on –
I stood there trembling with anxiety
And I felt a great, infinite scream pass
through nature._
