"A human being in love, regardless of the exalted state of both his spirit and soul, remains a priest in his robes who has but a dim idea of what it is he's celebrating."
--Lou Andreas-Salomé
from Looking Back, translated by Breon Mitchell (New York: Paragon House, 1991), p. 148.

Lou Andreas-Salomé (1861-1937) was a German novelist and a pioneering psychoanalyst to whom Freud sometimes referred patients. She was also a confidante of Nietzsche and Rilke. In June 2021, Raleigh Whitinger and I will publish the first English translation of Andreas-Salomé's 1921 novel, Das Haus (see the first link below for details).
