Kafka and the Cosmos
“All phenomena in the cosmos and on the earth move in cycles, like the heavenly bodies, it is an eternal repetition; man alone, the concrete living organism, runs a direct course between life and death.

Diane Cluck and her "Song-of-the-Week"

Especially during that beautiful section that builds up at the end.
