Quotes from Joseph von Eichendorff's books, and about them
Wandering on Heimweh: “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.”
Wandering on In der Fremde: “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.'”
Wandering on Nachruf: “quoted alongside Heimweh as one of the loveliest songs: '...and "O beloved, faithful lute" are the loveliest.'”
