Some nights the whole outer world seemed given over to the empery of silence; then came nights when there would be a majestic sweep of wind in the pines; nights of dear starlight when it whistled freakishly and joyously around the Blue Castle; brooding nights before storm when it crept along the floor of the lake with a low, wailing cry of boding and mystery.
Whispers passed along, and a boding uneasiness took possession of every countenance.
- You know my heart; you know that all there ; is desire, thought, boding and longing; 、、; you live among spirits and they give you divine wisdom.
Bettine Brentano to Goethe - You know my heart; you know that all there is desire, thought, boding and longing; you live among spirits and they give you divine wisdom.
