O incomparable Giver of life, cut reason loose at last!Let it wander grey-eyed from vanity to vanity.Shatter open my skull, pour in it the wine of madness!Let me be mad, as You; mad with You, with us.Beyond the sanity of fools is a burning desertWhere Your sun is whirling in every atom:Beloved, drag me there, let me roast in Perfection!
Let Me be Mad

The moon has become a dancerat this festival of love.
The Meaning of Love
Both light and shadoware the dance of Love.Love has no cause;
Do You Love Me?
A lover asked his beloved,Do you love yourself more
This Marriage
May these vows and this marriage be blessed.May it be sweet milk,
Defeated by Love
The sky was litby the splendor of the moonSo powerful
