Et geni er en begavet mann som er død... Kvinner har mange feil. Menn har bare to: Alt de sier, og alt de gjør.

'The man who makes no mistakes
does not usually make anything...

It is, we believe,
Idle to hope that the simple stirrup-pump
Can extinguish hell...

Wer hat uns also umgedreht, dass wir,
was wir auch tun, in jener Haltung sind
von einem, welcher fortgeht? Wir auf
dem letzten Hugel, der ihm ganz sein Tal
noch einmal zeigt , sich wendet, anhalt, weilt-,
so leben wir und nehmen immer Abschied.

Who`s turned us around like this,
so that we always, do what we may,
retain the attitude of someone who`s
departing? Just as he, on the last hill,
that shows him all his valley for the last
time, will turn and stop and linger,
we live our lives, for ever taking leave...
