tristan und isolde: mild und leise (liebestod)

I wonder, by my troth, what you and I

Did, till we loved? Where we not

weaned till then, But sucked on country pleasures, childishly?

Or snorted we in the seven sleepers' den?

'Twas so; But this, all pleasures fancies be.

If ever any beauty I did see,

Which I desired, and got,'twas but a dream of thee.



And now good morrow to our waking souls,

Which watch not one another out of fear;

For love all love of other sights controls,

And makes one little room an everywhere.

Let sea-discovers to new worlds have gone,

Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,

Let us posses one world; each hath one, and is one.



My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,

And true plain hearts do in he faces rest;

Where can we find two better hemispheres

Without sharp North, without declining West?

Whatever dies was not mixed equally;

If our two loves be one, or thou and I

Love so alike that none do slacken, none can die.

    I didn't watch the beginning of this film, I was stuck in traffic, I missed it, I skipped class to watch it

    Twisted European legends are really unflattering

Tristan + Isolde quotes

  • Lord Marke: [on the affair] How long?

    Isolde: Since you thought he was dead. I found him wounded on a beach in Ireland. And I told him my name was Bragnae. So when he came to the tournament at Dunluce to win Doncadh's daughter he didnt realize it was me. All this time, my heart has been his. And I'm sorry. He tried, harder than you can possible imagine because he loves you.

  • Melot: [on Tristan] Behold your hero, Uncle. I'll have my own heroes now.
