Another world I do hold in mind, which bears together in one heart its bitter sweetness and its dear grief, its heart's delight and its pain of longing, dear life and sorrowful death, dear death and sorrowful life. In this world let me have my world, to be damned with it or to be saved. - Gottfried von Strassburg (author of Tristan und Isolt)
