"Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
   What thou among the leaves hast never known,
The weariness, the fever, and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs,
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;
    Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
        And leaden-eyed despairs,
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,
    Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow."

–John Keats, Ode to a Nightingale

"Ich habe ein Gericht gesehn,
das schien aus Menschen zu bestehn.
Der Richter war aus Fleisch und Blut,
er unterschied nicht Christ und Jud’
Er unterschied nicht arm und reich,
ihm warn alle lieb und gleich;
von keinem dachte er was Schlecht’s
er trat nicht links und kniet’ nicht rechts.
Er kannte, weil sein Herz noch jung,
so etwas wie Verantwortung."

–Friedrich Hollaender, Münchhausen
