Excess Baggage Costs
Excess Baggage Costs
Anxiety and undue mental exercise are not carried free on the path o' dreams,
but are experienced as problematic excess baggage—
whether the dreamer has other beneficial luggage or not.
It is not an impossible journey,
for which of us has not known melancholy?

Mutual relationship must be regarded as a puzzle of life.
