Alas, love and fidelity are like a dream, an hour before daybreak.

“To be sure, I appear at times merry and in good heart, talk, too, before others quite reasonably, and it looks as if I felt, too, God knows how well within my skin. Yet, the soul maintains its deathly sleep and the heart bleeds from a thousand wounds.”

Hugo Wolf

(Title lyric from “An hour before daybreak” by Hugo Wolf).
