Von Menschen sind die Wälle rings erfüllt,
Von friedlichen, die in die Lüfte grüßen, --
Hell klingt von allen Türmen das Geläut,
Des blut'gen Tages frohe Besper schlagend.
Aus Dörfern und aus Städten wimmelnd strömt
Ein jauchzend Volf, mit liebend einsiger
Zudringlichkeit des Heeres Fortzug hindernd
Da schüttelt, froh des noch erlebten Tags,
Dem heimgekehrten Sohn der Greis die Hände.
Ein Fremdling tritt er in sein Eigentum,
Das längst verlassne, ein; mit breiten Xesten
Dect ihn der Baum bei seiner Wiederkehr,

Der sich zur Gerte bog, als er gegangen.—(Schiller, Wallenstein) 4 Antonio-Und sie hat wohlgethan! Er ziert ihn schön,

Als ihn der Lorbeer selbst nicht zieren würde.
Wie die Natur die innig reiche Brust
Mit einem grünen bunten Kleide deckt,
So hüllt er alles, was den Menschen nur
Ehrwürdig, liebenswürdig machen kann,
In's blühende Gewand der Fabel ein.
Zufriedenheit, Erfahrung und Verstand
Und Geistesfraft, Geschmack und reiner Sinn
Für's wahre Gute, geistig scheinen sie
In seinen Liedern und persönlich doch
Wie unter Blütenbäumen auszuruhn,
Bedeckt vom Schnee der leichtgetragnen Blüten,
Umkränzt von Rosen, wunderlich umgaukelt
Vom losen Zauberspiel der Amoretten.
Der Quell des Ueberflusjes rauscht darneben
Und läßt uns bunte Wunderfische sehr.

--(Goethe, Torquato Tasso) 5 Give in 100-200 words an account of the date, composition, historical

or literary sources, literary purpose and metrical form of one of the following plays: Iphigenie auf Tauris, Jungfrau von Orleans,

Nathan der Weise, Wallenstein, Faust, Torquato Tasso. 6 I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as

in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it,but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. There is one very sad thing in old friendships, to every mind which is really moving onward It is this: that one can not help using his early friends as the seaman uses the log, to mark his progress. Every now and then we throw an old schoolmate over the stern with a string of thought tied to him, and look - to see the rate at which the string reels off.-(Holmes, Autocrat . .)
