Wo die Aufklärung nach Klarheit und Deutlichkeit strebte, zeigt dieser sechsteilige Gedichtzyklus die vollkommen entgegengesetzten Ideale der Frühromantik: Sie schwelgt im Zwielicht des Unbekannten und verehrt die Anziehungskraft des Unergründlichen.

Each Gospel has its own ...

Years later, struggling with panic attacks and flashbacks, Phaidros is enlisted by the Queen to find her son, Thebes’ young crown prince, who has vanished to escape an arranged marriage.

Since graduating from Whisperwood School for Boys, William has found a sense of normalcy in his life with James.
