Turning Inward
Awakening from the Soul in Nature To Spirit in Man
A Verse Sequence by Christian Morgenstern.

Translated by Theodore van Vliet.

Morgenstern is a poet who plumbs hidden dimensions in nature and man, and in the worlds of things created by man, with gentle humour and healing earnestness. These are his last and most mature verses before his encounter with Anthroposophy. Their rare poetic insight can now be shared with readers in the English language. This bi-lingual edition, faithfully and sensitively fashioned into English by Theodore van Vliet, can become a companion on one's own path of development. The power in any one of his verses demonstrates why Steiner urged those who share his world view, 'read Christian Morgenstern!'
