Die Meistersinger Von

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or von:

    “But some who this blithe mood present,
    As on in lightsome files they fare,
    Shall die experienced ere three days be spent—
    Perish, enlightened by the vollied glare;
    Or shame survive, and, like to adamant,
    Thy after shock, Manassas, share.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home.”
