At The Gates - Grotesque - Thirteen Bells Of Doom

For Carolina de Saint-Creek, separation from Ferenc became fatal. At the insistence of her father, who was eager to improve the financial situation of the family with the help of his daughter's advantageous marriage, in 1830 she became the wife of Count Bertrand Lucien Marie d'Artigo (d'Artigaux; 1801–1879). It is difficult for a girl who has known romantic love in her youth to come to terms with a union of convenience. Carolina was not happy in marriage. Neither she nor Ferenc could completely forget each other. In 1844, during a concert tour of Liszt in southern France and Spain, they met in passing in Pau (Rai) - nearby was a large estate of the Count of d'Artigo. After returning, Liszt sent Carolina a precious turquoise bracelet, which he brought from a trip to St. Petersburg in 1843
