Isolde my mistress, Isolde my beloved, in you my life, in you my death!
Isot ma drüe, Isot m'amie
En vus ma mort, en vus ma vie.
En vus ma mort, en vus ma vie.
Original text (Italian)
More quotes by Gottfried von Strassburg
Alas for the sight where, after dire grief, one sees a sadder sight with grief more dire!
People and nations could live in grace
but for two little words, "mine" and "yours".
He that never had sorrow of love never had joy of it either!
She is no worthy woman who forsakes her honour for her body, or her body for her honour.
A worthy man is bound to suffer malice and envy: a man grows in worth so long as he is envied.
