wunderbare

Updated: May 26, 2025

I opened the Buch der Lieder at the poem in his preface the song of the sphinx in the enchanted wood ... and how it clutched the seeker, the poet, to its monstrous but voluptuous woman's breasts as it ravished his soul with kisses. And the nightingale was singing.... "O, shöne Sphinx, O löse mir Das Rätsel, das wunderbare! Ich hab' darüber nachgedacht Schon manche tausand Yahre."

'Wie schon, wie ruhrend! Ach, die Schottischen Lieder, sie haben so viel Stimmung! Aber die gnadige Frau hat eine WUNDERBARE Stimme; die gnadige Frau ist wirklich eine Kunstlerin, aber wirklich! She was dilated and brilliant, like a flower in the morning sun. She felt Birkin looking at her, as if he were jealous of her, and her breasts thrilled, her veins were all golden.
