Die Erzähler der Sagen und Märchen aus der Bibel gehen deftig und handfest ans Werk, und ihre Gestalten mögen riesige Umrisse zeigen, sie bleiben menschlich. Keinen dieser vielen Erzähler kennen wir mit Namen. Es gibt keinen Homer, keinen Vergil, keinen Wolfram, Rabelais, Tolstoi oder Faulkner, nur eine lange Reihe von Schreibern, deren Geschichten uns aber seit Ewigkeiten begleiten und großen Einfluss genommen haben.

Hölderlin war ein leidenschaftlicher Wanderer, seine innige Liebe zur Natur hatte sicherlich einen großen Einfluss auf sein Denken. Also tun wir es ihm gleich: Wir wandern und lauschen gleichzeitig den Geschichten aus seinem Leben, seinen Gedichten, den Briefen seiner WeggefährtInnen, seiner Mutter, seiner Geliebten. Dies soll keine literaturwissenschaftliche Lehrstunde sein, sondern eine emotionale Annäherung an die vielschichtige Gedankenwelt eines Dichtergenies, welches es nie schaffte, im "profanen Alltagsleben" Fuß zu fassen.
