Waiting For Godot: What Do We Do Now? （等待戈多）

Music inspired by a poem from Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926). The poem "Loneliness"(Einsamkeit) was written down in September 1902 in Paris; its context below:

[Loneliness]
Loneliness is like a rain.
It ascends from the sea to meet the evenings; from plains that are far and off the way,
it goes up to the heavens, which always have it. And only from the heavens does it fall on the city.
Rains down in the in-between hours,
When every alleyway wends towards dawn
and when the lovers who've found nothing, disillusioned and dismayed, turn from each other; and when those who hate each other
are forced to sleep together in one bed:
then the loneliness flows with the rivers...
