Ein Obdach …

Ein Obdach ...

“Ein Obdach gegen Sturm und Regen
Der Winterzeit
Sucht’ ich und fand den Himmelssegen
Der Ewigkeit.”

(F. Rückert in Liebesfrühling)

Hidden in the bushes

"In den angenehmen Büschen,
Wo sich Licht und Schatten mischen,
Suchet sich in stiller Lust
Aug' und Herze zu erfrischen;
Dann erheb't sich aus der Brust
Mein zufriedenes Gemüte,
Und lobsingt des Schöpfers Güte ..."

(B.H. Brockes in In den angenehmen Büschen)

A minimal harvest

"The whole year's sweat and study,
And the whole year's sowing time,
Comes now to the perfect harvest,
And ripens now into rhyme."

(R.L. Stevenson in Come, here is adieu to the city...)

The sleeping boat

"My soul is an enchanted boat,
Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float
Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing ..."

(P.B. Shelley in Prometheus unbound)

“Sing care away, with sport and play,
For pastime is our pleasure;
If well we fare, for nought we care,
In mirth consists our treasure.
Let stupids lurk and drudges work,
We do defy their slav’ry;
He is a fool, that goes to school,
All we delight in brav’ry.”

(Anonymous in Heart’s ease)
