Lu andreas Salome, one of the most legendary women of the 19th century, inspired or helped geniuses such as Nietzsche, Rilke, and Freud all her life, and made great achievements in the field of psychoanalysis, which can be called the coexistence of beauty and wisdom, the fruit of wisdom in the Garden of Eden.
Salome's family
Born in St. Petersburg in 1861, Lu andreas Salome was the daughter of a Russian general, and his father later served as a State Counsellor, Privy Council Advisor, Deputy Minister of the Interior, and was a top nobleman. Salome's mother prefers boys, and her relationship is not particularly close, some diaphragm, but when Salome deviates, she silently supports her and becomes her solid backing. She has 3 older brothers, and the brothers take good care of this little sister. This family atmosphere affects her emotional orientation, and every man she meets, if he shows integrity, manliness or warm heart, he will awaken the image of salome's inner brothers. These images are lifelike and warm, filling the emotional gap in her floating turmoil. In Salome's own words: There is no desire in my entire life that is more in line with my instincts than to show dignity – to show dignity is the first thing to do, and then to behave for others. Therefore, salome in the freedom and freedom, but also very concerned about whether they are decent, in that era, Salome transcended many of the shackles of the times on women at the same time, there are still some constraints and self-inhibition, this contradiction also runs through her life.

Like a father's first love - Geralt
At the age of 17, Salome had numerous doubts about religion, but there was no one around to answer, and she quit the church and betrayed the family's aristocratic traditions. Salome overheard the Dutch priest Gillot preaching while walking, as if the call of heaven had answered many of Salome's doubts. The otherworldly speech made her quickly decide: This is the person I am looking for, my loneliness has finally come to an end, and I believe that this person can save me from it. Geralt was an avant-garde, well-read and experienced Dutch priest, and Salome became her student, discussing theology, philosophy, literature, and history. Gillot is like a father, putting the young Salome in love, and for Salome, he is a replica of the image of God in childhood.
Salome uses a poem to record her first feelings of love
"The Last Request"
My earthly body
It will return to dust.
Please sprinkle one last kiss on my lips,
You are the only one who has ever loved me.
Don't think I'm really resting in the cemetery.
I gave you all my life,
I will always belong to you
In love, Gillot wants to abandon her family and propose to Salome, and in that instant, Salome feels like she has fallen from the sky to the ground, the aura on his head has disappeared, and Salome rejects him.
Because the marriage proposal and love abruptly stopped, the two sides separated from each other, and Salome even suffered from mild depression, so her mother arranged for her to study abroad and forget this unhappy experience.
Nietzsche and Paul Ray
Because of the loss of love, Salome's health deteriorated, and she went to Rome to recuperate and stayed at the house of her friend Madame Malveda
In March 1882, Madame Marvida introduced Paul Ray to Salome, and the two saw each other, and Paul protected her like an older brother, bringing her a lot of joy. Paul Ray falls in love with Salome and proposes to her. But her love affair with Gillot hurt her too much, so Salome rejected him.
It was at this time that Nietzsche entered Salome's life. Nietzsche came to Rome at the invitation of Madame Malveda and met Salome. Nietzsche, Paul, and Salome formed a trio to study and live together. Nietzsche also quickly fell in love with the youthful and beautiful and extraordinary Salome, so the three formed a strange white school scene.
Nietzsche, Paul, and Salome are grouped together
Nietzsche wrote in his monograph So Says Zarastutla, borrowing from an old woman: "Where do you go to the woman? Don't forget to bring your whip! This passage comes from this photo.
The trio soon disintegrated, and Nietzsche's love for Salome was too great to allow him to remain married for life, and a few months after their separation, he published his highest masterpiece, "What Says Zarathutra."
The temple of marriage - Andreas
Andreas, who was 15 years older than Salome, passionately pursued Salome and proposed to Salome on the threat of suicide. Salome felt too cruel to Paul, because the two had lived together for many years (but did not have skin kisses) and Paul liked himself. But the ghost sent God, and Salome tentatively added a marriage clause that she could refuse to have sex with her husband. Andreas actually agreed, so under the influence of temptation and adventure, gambling and fate, Salome became Andreas's wife. But Paul already had a place in her heart, so Paul chose to leave.
One night in the spring of 1887, Paul and Salome spent the night chatting, and finally left behind a photograph that Salome had given him years ago, and there was a piece of paper that read: "Good, good, not good to find me." In this way, Paul left Salome's life and never returned.
In June 1887, salome and Andreas were married in the Netherlands, and the main marriage was Salome's first love, Gillot.
Romantic love - Rilke
On the evening of May 12, 1897, Salome and Rilke met, and Rilke was captured by Salome's charm and kept writing letters to express his love
Rilke wrote poems for her:
Goug out my eyes and I can still see you
Plug my ears and I can still hear you
I was still able to walk without my feet
Without a tongue, I still plead with you
Break my arms, and I still grab you
With my heart as my hands
Pull out my heart and my brain will beat
Suppose you light a fire in my brain
I still carry you with my blood
Salome, 36, and Rilke, 21, fell in love and lived in a small town for a while. The sweetness of love gave birth to Rilke's desire to create, and during that time he was incredibly creative, publishing an astonishing number of poems and novels.
In recalling these years, Rilke once wrote:
"For me, this deepest result came from that beautiful, great day that is difficult to describe in words. Experience is transformed, it comes from an indescribable truth. In the fear I have come into contact with, I have never felt such a thing, never had such an awareness of what is coming at me. You are the antithesis of all doubt, you are the witness of my experience. You've touched them, you've seen them. The sky was free of dark clouds for me, and the self-gathering and self-dispersing thing was as poor as my first poem. I'm learning simple things, slowly, hard, but everything that attracts me is so rustic. I became mature and could express something rustic. All of this happened because I was lucky enough to meet you, when I was in danger of exileing myself for the first time. ”
At the age of 39, Salome realized that she would eventually grow old before Rilke and that Rilke had to grow up on his own. She felt her true self: I didn't belong to Kilot, so I definitely didn't belong to another person. This sound is like a solidified sculpture standing in my heart. Just as I did not belong to Nietzsche, to Paul, not to Andreas, I should not belong to Rilke. A voice told me: I am only myself. So he broke up with Rilke. After the breakup, the anguished Rilke published his life's highest masterpiece, The Leopard.
Studied under Freud
In 1911, at the age of 50, Salome became acquainted with Freud and Adler and began to study the field of psychoanalysis. After learning about Freud's theory, Salome decided to worship Freud and became a closed disciple of Freud. He also discussed scholarship with Adler from time to time, and soon grew into a brilliant psychoanalyst.
Freud's eulogy to Salome summed up her life well:
On February 5 of this year, Lu. Andreas. Salome died in her Göttingen home at the age of 76. This was an illustrious woman who devoted the last twenty-five years of her life to psychoanalysis. She not only contributed many valuable papers to psychoanalysis, but also made concrete use of psychoanalysis in practice. To put it bluntly, when she joined us in a team of both cooperation and strife, we all felt a great honor and a new impetus into the content of the analytic doctrine.
We know that she was with Friedrich in her youth. Nietzsche had a brief but deep friendship and a deep understanding of the philosopher's bold ideas. Later, when she rejected his marriage proposal, the friendship came to an abrupt end. And it is well known that in her later years, she became Reiner. Maria. Rilke, the great but dazed poet of life, was the muse and meticulous mother.
However, her personality is still a mystery. She possessed extraordinary modest qualities, strictly guarding personal secrets; she had an astonishing talent as a poet and a literary talent, but she never mentioned it. She knows exactly where to pursue the true value of life. Anyone who knows her can feel her sincere and harmonious nature strongly. At the same time, one will be surprised to find that all the shortcomings of a woman, or most of the shortcomings of human beings, either do not exist in her at all, or are completely eliminated throughout the course of her life.
She once wrote the greatest chapter of her women's life in Vienna. In 1912, she returned to Vienna again and walked through the doors of psychoanalysis. My daughter Anna, who had a close personal relationship with her, had heard her regret that she had not been exposed to psychoanalysis since she was a young man, when psychoanalysis had not yet appeared.
Extra - The religious meaning of Salome
Interestingly, Salome is also a very religious name, representing mystery and seduction, as well as danger and revenge. In the Bible, the Gospel of Matthew, and the Gospel of Mark, Herodites asked her daughter Salome to dance on Herod's birthday, and made Herod happy and make a wish for the head of the saint John. Herod had to kill the saint John, cutting off his head and putting it on a plate for Salome. So in Christianity, Salome and Herodias are symbols of bad women, beautiful and deadly. Salome's story has been passed down for thousands of years, attracting countless artists to recreate it, and Heine, the "king of love poems", wrote "Atatrol", which confused the two characters of Herodias and Salome and added rich details. The final set is Wilde's "Salome" Wilde makes Salome fall in love with John, and because of love, he can't kill John, and finally even kisses John's head, interpreting beauty and seduction to the extreme.
Salome in the Bible
Salome's voice: Ah! I kissed your mouth, John, and I finally kissed your mouth. The taste on your lips is quite bitter. Is it the taste of blood? ...... Maybe that's the taste of love... They say that the taste of love is quite bitter... But so what? So what? I finally kissed you on the mouth, John.
Salome in the Bible and Salome in real life are fully interpreted as crazy for love and full of magic.
Ellen Delpu has pointed out that she saw in Salome the three passions necessary for a full and fulfilling life: the irrepressible pursuit of love, the irrepressible search for truth, and the irrepressible compassion for human suffering.
Salome's life is unique and dares to love and hate, although there are all kinds of shocking acts, but she has always implemented her own life philosophy and life aesthetics, which is legendary.
