El terror nos asalta con rigor precisamente porque se trata de nuestro propio mundo, de manera que la confianza que depositábamos en él no resulta ser más que una apariencia. Simultáneamente tenemos la sensación de que no podríamos vivir en ese mundo de repente transformado. No se corresponde con lo grotesco el miedo a la muerte, sino el pánico ante la vida. Y a la estructura de lo grotesco pertenece la abolición de todas las categorías en...

De esta novela, que se convirtió en el libro de cabecera de los expresionistas, Gottfried Benn dijo que "contribuyó a constituir su propia época:...

Si no se me quiere reconocer ningún logro positivo en esas dos mil páginas de guerra de Die Fackel -un fragmento de lo que me vedaron los obstáculos técnicos y estatales, en todo caso se me tendrá que acreditar que rechacé sin esfuerzo día a día las asquerosas proposiciones del poder al espíritu: sostener mentira por verdad, injusticia por derecho, y rabia por razón. ¡Pues no hubo valor como el mío, ver al enemigo en posiciones propias!...

Breathing, you invisible poem!
World-space in pure continuous interchange
with my own being. Equipose
in which I rhythmically transpire.

Extrait : "La notion de Dieu la plus reçue et la plus significative que nous ayons, est assez bien exprimée en ces termes que Dieu est un être absolument parfait, mais on n'en considère pas assez les suites ; et pour y entrer plus avant, il est à propos de remarquer qu'il y a dans la nature plusieurs perfections toutes différentes, que Dieu les possède toutes ensemble, et que chacune lui appartient au plus souverain degré."
