Synopsis
The text explores Hugo von Montfort’s “Paradiesrede” as a spiritual forest journey and poetic self-therapy. The forest becomes a place of divine insight, inner purification, and hope for salvation. Through an allegorical encounter with the Grail Castle, the poet reflects on grief, guilt, and longing. Nature serves as a sacred space, akin to a Gothic cathedral. The narrative blends medieval piety with personal introspection, showing how a walk in the woods can lead to mystical self-awareness.
