'There are three idealists: God, mothers and poets!They don’t seek the ideal in completed things — they find it in the incomplete.'

About Franz Schubert:
To Karoline he lost his heart. Thus emerged his creations for four-handed piano. The young countess never learned of his profound affection. Only once when she teased him that he had never dedicated a single one of his compositions to her, he replied: “What for?! As it is, it’s all for you!”

Glad you like it, Théodore. I've just read in the editor's note Thomas Mann's opinion on Altenberg: "If it be permitted to speak of ‘love at first sound,’ then that’s what I experienced in my first encounter with this poet of prose.". As it seems, that's exactly what is happening to me too at the moment. 🙂
