Marian Seidowsky: Johannes
Quotes
-
[English subtitled version]
Johannes : My sweetheart is the most innocent woman alive, but once, in a dream, I saw her ravished by a juniper tree. Her pale body was stretched out on the juniper, its gnarled branches embracing her. I haven't been able to sleep since.
Baal : Have you ever seen her pale body?
Johannes : No, she's innocent. Even her knees. There are degrees of innocence, don't you think? Still, when I hold her for a moment at night, she trembles like a leaf. I don't dare. She's only seventeen.
Baal : Did she enjoy love in your dream?
Johannes : Yes.
