    The last paragraph is so heavy and pessimistic. How can this poem for a difficult time? Did I miss something here?

      Interesting question. It is a poem of balance: all the human emotions viewed against the rhythm of the day. Excellent short analysis here:

      @@D121346639m It took me some time to get the feel of the poem. The narrator John McWade also! But in the woodcuts I tried to convey the fact that despite the close of day the red glow of life keeps on. We have anew video coming out soon. It's taken months for just 12 lines of a Hermann Hesse poem, but the emphasis on reverence really comes through in the new translation from the German done by some friends gifted in languages. You can see all the background work for it here...and most importantly...thank you! kiwiconnexion.nz/view/view.php?id=2031
