impressions: tragic in love


the melody

Summeraya

"While the flowers, pale and unreal in the moonlight, floated away upon the river; and thus do greater things that once were in our breasts, and near our hearts, flow from us to the eternal sea.” -   Charles Dickens



Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love. - Shakespeare

Louis-Sussmann Hellborn created the amazing Sleeping Beauty marble sculpture that remains in Old National Gallery, in Berlin.

"Yes, Death. Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace. You can help me. You can open for me the portals of Death's house, for Love is always with you, and Love is stronger than Death." - Sir Simon de Canterville



"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not." - Andre Gide, Autumn Leaves
