| The title of this work is taken from an eloquent love poem by the German lyric poet Walther von der Vogelweide (1170-1230), whose subjects range from sensuous love to the political issues of his time. In the poem, the female narrator describes how the bed of flowers on which she and her lord made love was marked (or broken) by the impression of their bodies. |
