At all events, I hoped that a new impression would efface the first, and the first had become insupportable. I sought you. I saw you once more. Calamity! When I had seen you twice, I wanted to see you a thousand times, I wanted to see you always. Then - how stop myself on that slope of hell? - then I no longer belonged to myself.”

“Lorelei Lorelei, you wait, sad and beautiful, Up on a rock, on a deep night, You wait for your desire to be fulfilled, Wait for the one, who promised you, That he will deliver you from fate, That you will escape the accursed life. But the waters cooled his feet, He feared and fled; you hardened And you have become unrecognized, And with your naked bosom you lure, Caress, disenchant and confess to Strangers, men, who in you Believe, let themselves be attracted, while you, You will lead them to perdition...”
