Even the mystic union with the universe invoked by Isolde in her final words in act 3

In dem wogenden Schwall,

in dem tönenden Schall,

in des Welt-Athems

wehendem All—

ertrinken—

versinken—

unbewußt—

höchste Lust!

[In the surging swell, in the echoing sound, in the world-breath’s wafting universe—to drown—to sink—unaware—highest bliss!]

is already adumbrated in act 2:

O sink’ hernieder,

Nacht der Liebe,

gieb Vergessen,

daß ich lebe;

nimm mich auf

in deinen Schooß,

löse von

der Welt mich los!
