Beyond Salome’s Dance. On the Basis of a Relation between the 2nd Part of the Poem Three Gazes into an Opal by Georg Trakl and the Poem Veil Dance by Günter Grass

Summary/Abstract: The death of John the Baptist is the result of Salome’s dance in the Bible. In the 2nd part of thepoem Three Gazes into an Opal by Georg Trakl and in the poem Veil Dance by Günter Grass theimage of Salome is evoked by veils which are identifi cation marks of that fi gure in the drama Salomeby Oscar Wilde. The dance of a woman in both poems is not connected with death any more butwith life – with the return into mother’s womb in the text by Trakl and with the entrance to the art’swomb in the text by Grass.
