In distant land, untrod by mortal footsteps, Wird dort als höchstes Heiligtum bewacht:Įs heisst der Gral, und selig reinster GlaubeĮrteilt durch ihn sich seiner Ritterschaft. So kostbar, als auf Erden nichts bekannt In fernem Land, unnahbar euren Schritten, From this encounter first came the son of Parzival, Lohengrin, who was sent by the Grail: Titurel and Parzival in the strange and nevertheless so intimately homely poems of Wolfram. In the deep woodlands, lying beside the brook, I conversed with (1842) and San Marte (1836), also the poem Lohengrin in that of Görres (1813) with its confused but rich introduction.

N July 1845 Wagner took a cure at the Marienbad Spa, where he read poems by Wolfram in the editions of Simrock
