Rinaldo adores his mother and will do anything to be loved by her. But she is oblivious to all except her cat and her poetry. Fleeing from his mother's indifference he meets Christopher Gray who is doomed to fall in love with them both.
Dedicated to Serge Moatti
Denn das Schöne ist nichts
als des Schrecklichen Anfang, den wir noch gerade ertragen,
und wir bewundern es so, weil es so gelassen verschmäht,
uns zu zerstören. Ein jeder Engel ist schrecklich.
Aus der 1.Elegie der Duineser Elegien
Rainer Maria Rilke, 1912
Then Beauty is nothing
But the onset of a nearly unbearable dread,
And we admire her so because of the lofty contempt with which
She renounces to destroy us. Every Angel is dreadful.
