Love is something that belongs to us alone and enables us to flee the creator. Love is freedom. Love lies beyond. Es muss sein!

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Love is presented as a private freedom that reaches beyond the creator's control. The repeated declarations make that independence sound absolute. The closing German phrase, meaning 'It must be', introduces a striking tension between freely belonging to one another and the language of necessity.
