Your autobiography "From the Life of a Good-for-Nothing", ehem, oops, sorry, Eichendorff's story I wanted to write
would look nice in Sütterlin as some poems (especially those for the 'Poesiealbum') as well.
I gaze around me, going
By forest, dale, and lea,
O'er heights where streams are flowing,
My every thought bestowing,
Ah, Lady fair, on thee!
And in my garden, finding
Bright flowers fresh and rare,
While many a wreath I'm binding,
Sweet thoughts therein I'm winding
Of thee, my Lady fair.
walter wrote : "I know, he isn't THAT old ' . what's walter trying to do, butter me up ? anyhow, compliments are always accepted (as long as i don't have to work for them). when we were in berlin in september, i was offered a seat on a city-bus quite a number of times; did it ever make me feel old - they had to practically wrestle me into a seat. maybe the people offering the seat thought i was hard of hearing too . hbg
Walter, I just copied and pasted from princessash's post. Thanks for the link P'ash.
We will go to Ikea tomorrow and buy some Swedish Glögg. Hmm, with raisins and almond pieces. My friend and me did the big Glühwein test at our Christmas market here in Balingen two weeks ago. I was sick all Sunday ;-)
Advent, Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt, erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier - dann steht das Christkind vor der Tür.
Fröhlichen dritten Advent!
walter : you know the story of the hamburg tourist guide telling "tall stories" ? he was taking tourists on a cruise through the harbour and some longshoremen started shouting : "he luecht ! " ("he lies"). some tourists questioned the guide about the shouts (they were uttered in low-german) and his response was : "oh, say said 'er leuchted' " (literally : "he lights" - meaning "he's a bright light". so his reputation remained unblemished. hbg. ... and so does mine !
Well, hamburger, yes ... and that's what I was referring to
Thanks for the translation, Hamburger. I didn't want to ask... ;-)
