Eight different psychologists, four police officers, two doctors, and my mother are all convinced that I now belong in the category of a survivor. Although I strongly believe the definition is sorely lacking, it's more of a stereotype for people who were lucky enough to live through unfortunate events or circumstances. The word survivor doesn't seem sufficient. It's too simple, also insipid.

Diese neue Ausgabe des Buchs der Lieder kann ich dem überrheinischen Publikum nicht zuschicken, ohne sie mit freundlichsten Grüßen in ehrlichster Prosa zu begleiten. Ich weiß nicht, welches wunderliche Gefühl mich davon abhält, dergleichen Vorworte, wie es bei Gedichtsammlungen üblich ist, in schönen Rhythmen zu versifizieren. Seit einiger Zeit sträubt sich etwas in mir gegen alle gebundene Rede, und wie ich höre, regt sich bei manchen Zeitgenossen eine ähnliche Abneigung. Es will mich bedünken, als sei in schönen Versen allzu viel gelogen worden, und die Wahrheit scheue sich, in metrischen Gewanden zu erscheinen.

„Heimkehr“ entstand von 1823-24: Es geht wieder um Leidenschaft und unglückliche Liebe, aber auch um den Stellenwert solcher „Sentimente“. Das lyrische Ich kehrt nach unbestimmter Zeit in die Stadt am Meer zurück (Lübeck), in der einst sein Liebchen lebte, die nun ausgezogen oder sonst wie ungreifbar ist. Die Stadt ist für ihn nun leer, kalt, unwirklich und voll schmerzlicher Erinnerungen. Das lyrische Ich hat seine Geliebte wohl nur still und heimlich angebetet, ohne es ihr zu gestehen oder seine Liebe zu zeigen. Liebe ist am schönsten als Sehnsucht, als Verlangen und Schmachten, dessen Erfüllung nicht unbedingt erwünscht ist.

The inspiration for this book was born years ago, when I encountered a man in his 70s. He opened my eyes to how he had been able to capture a seemingly hidden power to combat evils in the world and his body, such as illness and fear. I wondered how that could be possible. I thought hard and broke sweat over how the mind could help a person fight diseases and infections. He was gracious enough to oblige me his time and share some of his ‘secrets'. Some of these things you will be hearing are gleanings from my numerous conversations with him.
