“It is not the treasures” said he to himself, “that have awakened in me such unutterable longings. Far from me is all avarice; but I long to behold the blue flower. It is constantly in my mind, and I can think and compose of nothing else. I have never been in such a mood. It seems as if I had hitherto been dreaming, or slumbering into another world; for in the world, in which hitherto I have lived, who would trouble himself about a flower?”
Scene no 96: Heinrich von Ofterdingen as a
Teutonic Knight (Lineol toys, composition figures) standing in front of the
mystical Blue Flower (KSD, Everlands, flowers and plants, Winter sky). Behind
the flower petals, Mathilde, daughter of the poet Klingsohr, prays (Elastolin
toys, modified Nativity figure).
The text: From the novel “Heinrich von
Ofterdingen” by Novalis.
