Bettina von Arnim April 4, 1785-January 20, 1859



Bettina, companion on the journey to the East, I celebrate your birthday today. Visionary, artist, campaigner for the rights of the oppressed, lover of beauty and light--you embody all that is beautiful, strong and enduring in the German Romantic Movement.  Sophia, priestess of our hearts, you are a minnesinger of the golden age.
