Elias’s poem

Posted on by Daniel Klenbort

Can anyone give me a reference to a little poem Elias wrote that essentially says, we must fight evil, but at the same time be aware our opponents are also caught in a figuration?

It could be the one (8 lines) in ‘Los der Menschen’ (1987, S. 78):

Die sich verwüsten als gnadenlos Feindliche Brüder sind es […] denn auch Sieger sind die bezwungenen […].
