Nur zwei Dinge
"Nur zwei Dinge" is a poem by the German poet Gottfried Benn. It is dated 7 January 1953 and was first published in the Frankfurt edition of the Neue Zeitung on 26 March 1953. In May of the same year, it appeared in Benn's collection of poems Destillationen. The last volume published by Benn himself, the Collected Poems from 1956, the year of his death, concludes with Only Two Things before the lyrical Epilogue.

The poem looks back on a life in a you-speech, poses the question of meaning and finds the answer in enduring the predetermined. After the insight into general transience, the poem concludes with a juxtaposition of emptiness and the drawn self. In contrast to the abstract, nihilistic statements is the closed and catchy form of the poem, which is characterized by traditional stylistic devices. The cipher-like formulas allow for ambiguous interpretations. "Nur zwei Dinge" is one of Gottfried Benn's most popular poems and has also been understood as his personal life balance.
