(*August 25, 1845-June 13, 1886)*
“I lie in the sign of the cross, in the sign of the sun and the moon. Cursed be I and my ideals if I should still fall, thank God it is no longer possible, because God's holy will, the king's sublime word, protects me! - Only psychological love alone is permitted, the sensual love, on the other hand, is cursed. I solemnly proclaim anathema to them:
You approach as a messenger from God, I flew from a lovely distance, so you go to the land where your star shines forever" (Ludwig II.)
Prologue:
Gone is the old world
And its splendor is fading
I'm waiting under the stars
For my last dance
Come, sweet death, embrace me
Don't leave me alone
From the darkness into the light
Come and take me home
Show me the power, show me your paradise
Give me the strength that once left me
Free me, redeem me me from sorrow and suffering
The soul will be free for eternity
What has to happen today will happen today
...I will resist the disaster...
