love him too, already read Michael Kohlhaas, I should try and find also some paintings to pair him with. Picrel by Munch comes close, also Kokoshka's paintings which Trakl knew personally. Music-wise? Something by late Mahler? Schonberg is way too abstract for Trakl in my opinion

I do not know whether I hate that I am alone, or hate that I am alone in a world of human beings. When I try to picture what sort of life I want to live, it is always solitary, isolated, or better, one where I am the sole remaining human. But when I picture the thing that I want most, it is to hold someone else. Why or how this comes to be, I cannot explain, and the mere thought of it fills me with hopelessness.
