'Don't you think that a great yearning is like the birds' heading south -- a sign that somewhere life is in bloom?'
Lou Andreas-Salomé
Menschenkinder (1899); translated by Raleigh Whitinger
The Human Family, p. 173 (University of Nebraska Press)
Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937) was a prominent German novelist and a pioneering psychoanalyst to whom Freud sometimes referred patients.
A 2016 film told the story of her extraordinary life, and Raleigh Whitinger and I have just published the first English translation of her 1921 novel, Das Haus under the title Anneliese's House (Boydell and Brewer).
