Drawing inspired by Hermann Hesse

When I was reading "Narziss and Goldmund" two years ago I was inspired by a passage about the primal mother to draw this picture. If you have not read it yet I can really recomend you to go for it. I was very touched by Hermann Hesse's books. Maybe especially because he was born in Calw, only 15 km from my home village, and the storys are very connected to the people in this area of Germany. Even nowadays you can find characters simular to the ones in the book: 86 years later. I tried to translate the words here. Hope you like it.

"It was only a moment, a twitching flash: he saw the face of the primal mother, inclined over the abyss of life, looking with a lost smile beautiful and gruesome, saw it smiling to the births, to the deaths, to the flowers, to the rushing autumn leaves, smile to art, smile to decay."
(Hermann Hesse, Narziss and Goldmund)

"Es war nur ein Augenblick, ein zuckendes Aufblitzen: er sah das Gesicht der Urmutter, über den Abrund des Lebens geneigt, mit einem verlorenen Lächeln schön und grausig blicken, sah es lächeln zu den Geburten, zu den Toden, zu den Blumen, zu den rauschelnden Herbstblättern, lächeln zur Kunst, lächeln zur Verwesung."
(Hermann Hesse, Narziß und Goldmund)

This is an earlier drawing of mine that works with simular symbols. Thank you all for your support.

Lots of Light and Love <3
