Genial Impulse

By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

THUS roll I, never taking ease,

My tub, like Saint Diogenes,

Now serious am, now seek to please;

Now love and hate in turn one sees;

The motives now are those, now these;

Now nothings, now realities.

Thus roll I, never taking ease,

My tub, like Saint Diogenes.
