Texts by Hermann Hesse

«Everyone of us has a daily horizon, and, in our memory, the landscape of our own childhood. My horizon intersects with the one Hermann Hesse experienced at the time of his artistic maturity.
A wide and changeable landscape, intimate and secret. I experience it with that feeling of belonging which makes every familiar place precious, unique and important. I think I know it, and yet it surprises me. With the time, an endless net of images originate: moments of the Absolute.» Giosanna Crivelli
