You and I are a single
entity, a circle circling
itself, a place that exists
everywhere, a holy silence.
This poem was inspired by Arnold Schoenberg’s great
neo-romantic cantata, GURRE-LIEDER. The text was drawn
from the poem by Jens Peter Jacobson. King Waldemar’s
beloved Tove has been brutally murdered by his jealous
Queen. Waldemar cannot accept the nightmare reality of
losing her, so he fantasizes a dream of their continued
intimacy.
