A quaint creature, often dressed in the garment of night.
Character
Christian Schubart’s characterization, from Ideen zu einer Ästhetik der Tonkunst (1806), translated by Rita Steblin:
A quaint creature, often dressed in the garment of night. It is somewhat surly and very seldom takes on a pleasant countenance. Mocking God and the world; discontented with itself and with everything; preparation for suicide sounds in this key.
