seeing her again drew nearer and nearer. As the carriages and horsemen
arrived on the first day from the city, I saw that the castle was alive
with gaily-dressed visitors. Banners fluttered from the roof, music
sounded through the castle-yard. In the evening, the lake swarmed with
pleasure-boats. The moennerchors sounded over the waves, and I could not
but listen, for I fancied she also listened to these songs from the
window. Everything was stirring, also, on the second day, and early in

saw the Hofrath's carriage also going back alone to the city. I could
not restrain myself any longer, I knew she was alone. I knew she thought
of me, and longed for me. Should I allow one night to pass without at

And the morning came--and I was with her, really with her. Oh, speak not
of the spirit as if it could exist without the body. Complete existence,
consciousness, and enjoyment, can only be where body and soul are one--an
embodied spirit, a spiritualized body. There is no spirit without body,
else it would be a ghost: there is no body without spirit, else it would
be a corpse. Is the flower in the field without spirit? Does it not
appear in a divine will, in a creative thought which preserves it, and
gives it life and existence? That is its soul--only it is silent in the
flower, while it manife

The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists.
