This short text was written by Miguel Serrano on April 20, 2003, when Easter Sunday and Adolf Hitler’s birthday coincided. I translated it and posted it online under the pen name T.C.L. Since those dates coincide again this year, I thought it opportune to track this little curiosity down on the web and bring it “home.”

Unfortunately, the deep writer and poet Hermann Hesse was falsified and vulgarized by a world in decline. He needs to be re-read today by the same eyes that were once shaken by his mystery.

Ezra Pound died in Venice on 2[1]November 1972, less than five years after our interview. I was in Spain, traversing that hard and ancient land. I had visited Ronda, down South, the city over the abyss, where Rilke once lived for a time. I had been reading Pound’s letters in the small museum that Spaniards have opened in the hotel where he once lived—his love letters to Lou Salomé, also lover and muse to Nietzsche.
