question
burned his glance,
That to quiet him in haste I answered,
"All that you have said is doubtless so;
"But, pray, calm yourself, my dear, good fellow, Let it be, and let it go at that.

Ich stand an seinem Sterbebette, Es war was besser als von Mist,
Von

Goethe - Faust- Der Tragödie erster Teil |
|
Et quand, pendant que minuit sonne,
Faconne,
petillant
et jaune,
On sort le pain;
Quand, sous les poutres enfumees,
Chantent les croutes parfumees,
Et les grillons;
Que ce trou chaud souffle la vie;
Ils ont leur ame si ravie
Sous leurs haillons,
Ils se ressentent si bien vivre,
Les pauvres petits pleins de givre!

My lovers suffocate me,
Crowding my lips, thick in the pores of my skin,
Jostling
me through streets and public halls, coming naked to me at night,
Crying by day, Ahoy!
