An American friend told me of how he struggled toward the Schloss, but in the jam of humanity got only as far as the monument of Frederick the Great. There a youth threw his hat in the air and cried: "Hock der Krieg, Hock der Krieg!" That was the spirit that raged like a prairie fire. An old man next to him looked him full in the eyes. "Der Krieg ist eine ernste Sache, Junge!"
A German private, a tall thin man with bushy eyebrows, who had not spoken hitherto, said he didn't mind losing a few buttons but to rob a man of his marriage ring, that was very mean eine Gemeinheit his marriage ring had been taken from him: he would have lost anything rather than that, for it always reminded him of home.
He had lured them with him, and now they could not break loose; downward, ever downward, he led them downward, where was a dull and muffled murmur as of threatenings and plaints. 'Er führt eine famose linke Hand, said the doctor. But De Silvis did not hear him; he sat, like the others, in breathless expectancy. A dark, sickening dread went out from the music and spread itself over them all.
An old German saying, 'Eifersucht ist eine Leidenschaft die mit Eifer sucht was Leider schafft, says by no means too much.... Jealousy is a heritage of animality and barbarism; I would recall this to those who, under the name of 'injured honor, attempt to justify it and place it on a high pedestal.

What was that you was a-hummin' in your cabin? Nice chune. I've a musical ear meself." Someone sang a verse in a subdued baritone, tremulous with sentiment. The melody was haunting, the words almost pathetic under the conditions of life on board the disheveled Unser Fritz. They told of Vienna, the city beloved of its sons. Es gibt nur eine Kaiser Stadt, Es gibt nur eine Wien.
For the voice, there is, of course, a setting of "Du bist wie eine Blume," which, save for the fact that it looks as if the accompaniment were written first, is a very pure piece of writing. The "Song of the Syrens" is a strong composition with a big climax, the "Jessamine Bud" is extremely delicate, and "They that Sow in Tears" has much dignity.
Of her operas, "Susanna Monfort," "Magdalena," and "Eine Heimfahrt," have been frequently performed. Elise Schmezer has composed the opera "Otto der Schütz," besides a number of songs. Thekla Griebel has had her opera, "Schön Karen," produced twice within recent years. Elise Bachmann published a melodrama, "Die Macht der Musik," also some songs and piano pieces in popular vein.
Another satirical protest was, as one reads from a contemporary review, “Die Tausend und eine Masche, oder Yoricks wahres Shicksall, ein blaues Mährchen von Herrn Stanhope” (1777,
The first volume of "Beethoven, eine Kunststudie" is a "Leben des Meisters," a mere sketch, made up from the same works as the "Catalogue," with a very few additions from other sources. As a biographer, Lenz fails as signally as in his capacity of critic.
