@Berlin, Cemetery Tour part I
Berlin, Invaliden cemetery… at the tree…
“But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Then she said farewell to Eldarion, and to her daughters, and to all whom she had loved; and she went out from the city of Minas Tirith and passed away to the land of Lórien, and dwelt there alone under the fading trees until winter came. Galadriel had passed away and Celeborn had also gone, and the land was silent.There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by the men that come after, and elanor and nimphredil bloom no more east of the sea.” (Death Of Arwen-Lord of the Rings-Appendix I)
In Berlin, more than in other countries, many cemeteries are planned as parks and visited from a large crowd of residents and tourists..
I recently got a nice invitation at the cemetery from a german gentleman and, a part from taking it with dark humor, I found it very romantic as soon as I have seen of what kind cemetery we are talking about…
Places of silence and peace, marmor and nature, wild Ivi, red roses and oak trees. A romantic syncretism between ancient and modern… classic suggestions and nature, a spectacle for the eyes and for the soul. You feel finally in peace and you fear death no more. Very german and wagnerian indeed..

Berlin, Invaliden cemetery
The Invalids’ Cemetery (Invalidenfriedhof) is one of the oldest cemeteries in Berlin. It was the traditional resting place of the Prussian Army, and is regarded as particularly important as a memorial to the German Wars of Liberation of 1813-15.

As if the cemetary was build for you!
Un esempio reale di cultura Romantica. Non sono terribili i Cimiteri lì.
Yub, she’s getting into it…
thank you Nihil, as I am “Dark Lady” I take it as a huge compliment
are you perhaps inspired by the pre-Romantic cemeterial poetry as well by the lord of the rings??
what is your feeling prevalent near the graves?
Juliette
yes, I am indeed:)
death,black, love, decadence and nature are main themes of romanticism, and generally of extreme individualism. I remind some poetry from Novalis, from example over this theme, Baudelaire and Goethe and Klingemann as well.
interestingly my feeling, next to this graves, is a feeling of extreme neverending peace and beauty. Maybe because the aesthetic is so strong and cured… I don´t fear death any longer…on the contrary I wish I could have a grave like that..in the future… What I find very touching as well is that modern graves lies next to ancient ones…
This way of thinking seems very traditional, but legitimate and interesting
why traditional?
hot and dark as always lol:D
I love this dark romanticism, and your style is simply amazing!
Romanticism was historically defeated. Now Alexeia shows and describes romantic feelings and thoughts. Courageous and brave
thanks:)
well I don´t know illuminism was partly defeated as well..
Other interesting thing is that Fichte´s grave stays exactly next to Hegel´s in the Dorothee cemetery, so two idealist philosophers in a absolutely romantic cemetery and environment.True is that idealism was contemporary of romanticism and partly connected (more in Fichte´s and Schelling´s case than Hegel)…
tematica molto interessante. amo anche io vestire spesso solo nero e i cimiteri, quelli caratterizzati da una forte estetica naturalmente.quelli tedeschi sembrano davvero avere un tocco romantico… a quando il prossimo cimitero?
concordo luci:) prossimo cimitero a molto presto, baci
