AUTOBIOGRAPHY

”Aus Morgenduft gewebt und Sonnenklarheit Der Dichtung Schleir aus der Hand der Wahrheit”

GOETHE

”The million stars which tremble O'er the deep mind of dauntless infancy”

TENNYSON

”Wie leicht ward er dahin gefragen, Was war deen Die luftige Begleitung her!

Die Liebe old'nen Kranz, Der Ruhm mit seiner Sternenkrone, Die Wahrheit in der Sonne Glanz”

SCHILLER

What wert thou then? A child e, In all but its sweet looks and e A patient warfare thy young heart did wage, When those soft eyes of scarcely conscious thought Soe To overfloith tears, or converse fraught With passion o'er their depths its fleeting light had wrought'

ShellE

”And I s ht to comprehend the works of God

And God himself, and all God's intercourse With the human mind”

BROWNING
