As
Frankl trudges through snow for miles with his fellow prisoners, his mind turns
to his wife, a prisoner at another camp at Auschwitz. In spite of her absence, she is more real and
luminous than the people around him: “For the first time in my life I saw the
truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom
by so many thinkers. The truth - that love is the ultimate and the highest
goal to which man can aspire…The salvation of man is through love and in
love…It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self.
Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at
all, ceases somehow to be of
importance.,,.”Set me like a seal upon thy heart, love is as strong as
death” (pp 49-50)
