I was actually reading "Im Blick der Uralten" but this little volume from 1965 is not listed here.
Georg Maurer was an East German poet and he is just magnificent!
I am still in my post "Infinite Jest" phase so this line from "Der Mensch" (The Human Being) stuck out immediately (translation mine, no AI was used!):
"Open eye! a space for the biggest world gathering.
Open heart! inside even the most crooked path will be straightened.
This is how humanity has recognized itself:
As long as she asks, there is humanity,
as often as she answers, there is happiness."
