Hermann Hesse Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: July 2, 1877 - August 9, 1962
Birthday: July 2
Death: August 9
Once it happened, as I lay awake at night, that I suddenly spoke in verses, in verses so beautiful and strange that I did not venture to think of writing them down, and then in the morning they vanished; and yet they lay hidden within me like the hard kernel within an old brittle husk.
