Georg Trakl war ein österreichischer Dichter des Expressionismus mit starken Einflüssen des Symbolismus. Eine eindeutige Zuordnung seiner poetischen Werke zu einer der annähernd gleichzeitigen Strömungen der Literaturgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts ist aber nicht möglich.
Zitate Georg Trakl

„The murderer smiles palely in wine,
Death's horror grips the sick.
Excoriated and naked, the nun prays
Before the Savior's agony on the cross.
The mother sings quietly in sleep.
Peacefully the child looks into the night
With eyes that are completely truthful.
In the whorehouse laughter rings.
By candlelight down in the cellar hole
The dead one paints with white hand
A grinning silence on the wall.
The sleeper whispers still.“
— Georg Trakl
"Romance in the Night"
„Knowledge comes only to those who despise happiness.“
— Georg Trakl

„In the evening you hear the scream of bats,
Two black horses jump in the meadow,
The red maple rustles.
To the traveller the small inn appears by the wayside.
Wonderful the taste of young wine and nuts,
Wonderful: stumbling drunk into darkening wood.
Through black branches painful bells sound,
On the face dew drips.“
— Georg Trakl
