“Fromm und still ist Bergmanns Art,
Denn er geht auf rauhen Wegen,
Doch ein milder Himmelssegen
Macht sein Loos ihm minder hart.”
(Johann Nepomuk Vogl in Bergmanns Lust)
Genk (B)
The bottles are not for drinking
“The delights of the bottle and the charms of good wine,
To the power and pleasures of love must resign:
Though the night in the joys of good drinking be past,
The debauches but till the next morning will last.
But love’s great debauch is more lasting and strong;
For that often lasts a man all his life long.”
(M. Locke in the song Delights of the bottle)
Genk (B)
