Germany
That all looks so pleasant,
so well cleaned the farmhouse,
full of morning dew are grass and tree,
so wonderfully blue the mountains!
See the little cloud playing
and cooling in the clear ether!
Would a Dutchman be here,
he‘d take lodging instantly,
and what he sees and what he paints,
will be paid for hundred years.
(Goethe, Landscape)
Das alles sieht so lustig aus,
So wohl gewaschen das Bauernhaus,
So morgenthaulich Gras und Baum,
So herrlich blau der Berge Saum!
Seht nur das Wölkchen, wie es spielt
Und sich im reinen Äther kühlt!
Fände sich ein Niederländer hier,
Er nähme wahrlich gleich Quartier,
Und was er sieht und was er malt,
Wird hundert Jahre nachgezahlt.
(Goethe, Landscape)
