Topaz Wedding – 52 Years of Precious Help – Delightful Torment and Delightful Woe! The pain like the pleasure immeasurable!

Meditation and Wedding Prayer

The evening itself was like a miracle of love, they walked entwined and mute with love from the fields to the dreaming village. She leaned more warmly against him. She said, as quietly as if the evening wind were lamenting: "In the corn, that was a sin, you!" He takes his hand and cheek from cheek: "And if you call it a sin that I embrace you, then you don't love me and you don't love me!"

Then she looks up at the angry, savage man and looks her lover in the face with frightened, helpless, mild eyes. And smiles in tears and loosens the pale, quivering lips and says in soft words to the beloved: "Is that what you tell me?" And wraps his arm around the defiant boy: "It was a sin that we broke the grain like that. I'll tell you that."

Topaz Wedding

Delightful torment and blissful woe! The pain like the pleasure immeasurable! While the kiss on the mouth makes me happy, the paws wound me horribly. The nightingale sang: "O beautiful sphinx! O love! what does it mean that you mix all your bliss with agony? O beautiful Sphinx! O solve the riddle for me, the wonderful one! I've thought about it for thousands of years."

Now a gentle wind blows through the branches, which are white with blossoms. The young day arises. The forests are silent before God who walks meditating. Lances heavy with rope bend the stalks deeply. I felt a bird called -? O play, you silver birch tree, on your old violins in your last morning dream. My love can hardly bow and be silent, bow and be silent.
