Third part of the trilogy Lorelei
Based on a ballad of Clements Brentano, Zu Barach am Rheine, in 1824, Heinrich Heine crafted his most famous poem “Die Lorelei”. It depicts a siren who sits on top of a cliff above the Rhine, singing and luring shipmen with her beautiful golden hair and hypnotising songs. Causing this men to crash their boats and die. Also known as "Murmuring rock" this tale was probably created due to the sound of a small waterfall and the force of the winds that would hit the cliffs and cause this haunting sounds at night.
Even though there are numerous versions of this tale, this history is that it is about seduction, blame, defeat and a utopic love
