About This Quote
This quote is a part of a poem written by a German modernist named Rüdiger Safranski. The poem is called, “What do you want? What do you want? To see the world burn, and a new one be born from the ashes.” In this quote, the speaker is talking about the world as if it is a ship that he wants to sail on. In one sense, he can see the whole world as a ship because his imagination has been fueled by the concept of wanting to see something new grow from something old. He imagines what will happen if he sails on this ship and imagines that it will come crashing down and be destroyed in flames.
