Helmut

Helmut, talking almost to himself. Wo aber ist Gefähr, wächst das Rettende auch. Looking at us: But where there is danger, a rescuing element grows, too.

 

Helmut, looking very serious. Quoting: Nie könnte Gott dir näher sein,/Also wo Verzweiflung auch zerbirst:/In Zions selbstversunkenem Licht.

In English, Helmut! What does it mean?

Never is God closer to you/as in the deepest doubt:/in the selfwithdrawn light of Zion.
