“Es lächelt der See, er ladet zum Bade,
Der Knabe schlief ein am grünen Gestade,
Da hört er ein Klingen,
Wie Flöten so süß,
Wie Stimmen der Engel
Im Paradies.”

(Fr. von Schiller in Fischerknabe)

Un siècle de peinture Belge

“Beauty is but a painted hell :
Aye me, aye me,
Shee wounds them that admire it,
Shee kils them that desire it.
Giue her pride but fuell,
No fire is more cruell.”

(Th. Campion in Beauty is but a painted hell)

“Vorwärts, und nicht vergessen,
worin unsere Stärke besteht!
Beim Hungern und beim Essen,
Vorwärts, nie vergessen
die Solidarität!”
