Wir sind gewohnt dass
die Menschen verhoehnen,
Was sie nich verstehn,
Dass sie vor dem Guten und Schoenen,
Das ihnen oft bewschwerlich ist, murren ... |
(True, human beings may abound
Who growl at things beyond their ken,
Mocking the beautiful and good,
And all they haven't understood ...) |

J. W. Goethe,
Faust |
If you would know TRUTH
be not therefore a solver of riddles.
Rather look about you and you will
see HIM playing with your children.
Khalil Gibran (1883-1931)
