"I sat quietly on the hillside
Look at the colorful spring blooming flowers
Not all flowers are the same to me
I love picking flowers from the twigs she picked
Wishes and Fantasy Changes
joy and quarrel transformation
The joy of love has faded
Only love remains
love and sadness
If I were a bird on a lawn slope
Then it will stop on the twigs here
Singing there all summer
Beautiful song about her"
——Ernst Schulze/Schubert Lieder
This article is based on the story of the so-called Gilded Age American heiress and the old aristocrats of continental Europe who exchanged money for wealth in the early 20th century. It is a prequel to the male and female protagonists of my "#WWII: Crossing the Mountains" (this article has been locked and is being re-conceived). Starting from the Edwardian era and continuing until the end of the First World War, I have no intention of writing a period masterpiece, just about men and women in the great era.
