Scorpions - Pictured Life

“If you need a frame for the story of two happy lovers, choose the coast of Lake Como for this. I have never met a place so generously showered with graces of heaven, a place as if created for the fulfillment of a love idyll. Yes, my friend, if your soul in your dreams creates the perfect image of a woman, a woman whose heavenly charm is devoid of the imprint of sensuality and only inspires the soul with a sense of reverence, and if you see a young man with a faithful and sincere heart next to her, weave a love story and call it “On the shores of Lake Como” ”- these lines from the“ Travel Letters of the Bachelor of Music ”were published by Liszt in the“ Review e gazette Musical de Paris ”on July 22, 1838, and were written earlier in October 1837.
