Ernst Stadler: Form ist Wollust

Form ist Wollust

Form und Riegel mußten erst zerspringen,
Welt durch aufgeschloßne Röhren dringen:
Form ist Wollust, Friede, himmlisches Genügen,
Doch mich reißt es, Ackerschollen umzupflügen.
Form will mich verschnüren und verengen,
Doch ich will mein Sein in alle Weiten drängen –
Form ist klare Härte ohn Erbarmen,
Doch mich treibt es zu den Dumpfen, zu den Armen,
Und in grenzenlosem Michverschenken
Will mich Leben mit Erfüllung tränken.

Ernst Stadler
(1883 – 1914)
Form ist Wollust
