I see his tears fall, the dearest of the world. What a man to be worshipped! What a loss for me! Yes, I swear eternal devotion to you!
Wait, I know you've excerpted this for us before and somehow either I missed the swearing eternal devotion or I forgot it. <33333333333333333333333
In pagan times, they would have made him a god, in our time, all who know him build altars to him in their hearts.
except all of Heinrich's actual lovers Awwwwwwww!
*Asteriks: Schmidt-Lötzen tells us older Lehndorff annotated this to say his younger self meant Countess Bentinck, who as you may recall was on a vain quest for Heinrich herself at that time.
That is amazingly hilarious. Now I'm just imagining Lehndorff and Countess Bentinck having soulful conversations (both in letter and in person) about Heinrich and how beautiful and unattainable he is :D
