Adalbert Stifter - Roedl, Urban

In dem autobiographischen Fragment seiner Kindheitsgeschichte sagt Stifter, sein Leben sei einfach gewesen «wie ein Halm wächst»; und über die Erscheinungen dieses Lebens, die ihm ein Rätsel waren, vor dessen Abgrund er in Staunen und Ohnmacht stand, geriet er in dieselbe Verwunderung wie über das Wunder, das ihm das kleinste Sandkörnchen war.

Von solcher paradoxen Einfachheit war Stifters Leben.
