Don Giovanni is the demon of unalloyed immanence, a prisoner of worldly appearances, and the martyr of a more and more deceptive and despicable sensation, whereas Tristan is the prisoner of a realm lying beyond night and day and the martyr of a rapture which is transformed at death into unalloyed bliss.

[…] we become aware of two streams into which all mysticism divides […] The first stream is that of ‘unitive mysticism’, which aims at a complete fusion of the soul with the divine. The second stream may be called ‘epithalamian mysticism’, which aims at a marriage of a soul to God, and which therefore implicitly maintains an essential distinction between creature and Creator.
