Ewig jung und ewig grün!
Hütt' ich Schwingen, hiitt' ich Flügel,

b. Und horch! da sprudelt es silberhell
Gang nahe wie rieselndes Kauschen,
Und stille hält er zu lauschen,

Und erfrischet die brennenden Glieder.
(Schiller.)

Wenn Zwei sich redlieh lieben;

So ruf ich nur: Vergiss mein nicht!
Da komm' ich wieder ins Leben.
(Goethe.)
5.—Translate into German—
For the present, I shall observe only that in the case of Schiller, I love his works chiefly because I venerate the memory of the man: whereas, in the case of Richter, my veneration and affection for the man is founded wholly on my knowledge of his works. The distinction will point out Richter as the most eligible author for your present purpose.—De Quincey.
