(Faust):Mein schönes Fräulein,

darf ich wagen,

meinen Arm und Geleit Ihr anzutragen?

 

(Margarete):Bin weder Fräulein, weder schön

kann ungleitet nach Hause gehn.

 

-....Johann Wolfgang Goethe - Faust [2605-2608]

the road not taken by robert frost

 

its learned everywhere round australia for school studies... :rolleyes:

Edgar Allen Poe's Annabel Lee and Raven ..

two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference!

^ :lol: right on!

(The witch) Du musst verstehn!

Aus Eins mach Zehn

und Zwei lass gehn

und Drei mach gleich

So bist du reich

Verlier die Vier

Aus Fünf und Sechs

So sagt die Hex

Mach Sieben und Acht

So ist's vollbracht

Und Neun ist Eins

und Zehn ist keins

Das ist das Hexen-Einmaleins!

I know this line (Frost's poem) because it was in the book Dead Poets Society. We have read that book in school and I liked this sentence so much that I can still remember it (we read the book one year ago)

in fact its the only poem we learned in school :confused: hell they only even read it... and we have to study those stupid arabic poems oh god!!! :angry:

poor you! I'm glad we read things like Faust (Goethe), Nathan der Weise (Lessing) and Prometheus (Goethe as well)...

oh well :wink3:

forgot the name but its by shakespear...!

 

All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts,

His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,

Mewling and puking* in the nurse's arms.

Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel

And shining morning face, creeping like snail

Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,

Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad

Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,

Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard*,

Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,

Seeking the bubble reputation

Even in the canon's mouth. And then the justice,

In fair round belly with good capon* lined,

With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,

Full of wise saws* and modern instances;

And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts

Into the lean and slippered pantaloon*

With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;

His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide

For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,

Turning again toward childish treble, pipes

And whistles in his* sound. Last scene of all,

That ends this strange eventful history,

Is second childishness and mere oblivion, :) :)

I know this line (Frost's poem) because it was in the book Dead Poets Society. We have read that book in school and I liked this sentence so much that I can still remember it (we read the book one year ago)

 

I've heard this quote in DPS movie, which is a masterpiece...

 

there was a Henry Davis Thoreau's quote:

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived."

 

and is's great for me...

 

 

another great poem, used in this movie, was "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" by Robert Herrick...
