"Henri and Mathilde - They who perish when they love" is the - independently readable - fifth part of the, essentially fictive, biography of one of the greatest and most enigmatic love poets of Germany. It describes his marriage to Crescence Mirat, called Mathilde, in voluntary exile in Paris, with his vacation trips and visits to Germany, as well as his illness in the mattress tomb under the care of the doctors Gruby and Wertheim. In addition to Mathilde and her parrots, her companion Pauline, his contemporaries B rne, Andersen, the friends Friedland and Seeliger, Henri Julia, Honeck, Ruge, Karl and Jenny Marx, Moritz, Wallner, Meissner, Stahr, G rard de Nerval, appear Alexandre and Agathina Weill, the Principessa Cristina Belgiojoso, Lola Montez etc., plus his old and new secret loved ones and love affairs: Molly, Elisabeth, Frisette, Eug nie, Mariette - and Elise Lensing, his Mouche ... Not but less the idols of his erotic imagination: the girls and women in Shakespeare: Cleopatra, Cressida, Tamora, Margaretha, Lady Anna, Jessica, Porzia, Ophelia; Irene, Leda, Tilly, the sultan's daughter, Candida, Baudelaire's tribades Delphina and Hippolyta ... His afterlife starts with Margaretha Geertruida Celle alias Mata Hari. Eros is the antagonist of love.
