Books mentioned in Wandering (3)
Heimweh by Joseph von Eichendorff: “I think about songs by Eichendorff that I know by heart... I say the songs over, half singing to the melodies of Hugo Wolf and Othmar Schoeck. 'Whoever longs to wander in strange lands' and 'O beloved, faithful lute' are the loveliest.”
Nachruf by Joseph von Eichendorff: “quoted alongside Heimweh as one of the loveliest songs: '...and "O beloved, faithful lute" are the loveliest.'”
In der Fremde by Joseph von Eichendorff: “I think of another bit of Eichendorff, and I sing it on my knees: 'Soon, oh how soon the still time will come. When I too will rest, and over me / Will rustle the lovely loneliness of trees. / And, even here, no one will know me.'”
