If you always keep the first ones open, you will be spared a lot of pain; If a misfortune has struck you, it gently alleviates the last. Good children are the whole thing to their parents at all times; From the wreath full of flowers it beckons in a modest dress.

“Where are the promised first ones?” So I asked two hunters recently. They searched their pockets eagerly, but there was nothing in the pockets. "You are and remain a real mocker," one of them replied quickly, "And sometimes I would like to wish you to go where the last two are." We laughed. -- "Waiter, I'm hungry," I said, "the menu, if you like it!" And then I ordered the delicious whole thing for dinner.

103.
The first syllable is very heavy, a stone is nothing compared to it, only when the army of worries presses you down can you figuratively consider it. The second, founded by compassion and generosity, became a refuge for many a heart, where it finds a home. The first one, as is well known, is in the service of the weapons of death. As a whole, it has created many a beautiful work in the hands of artists.

The first says as much as: "It's over", the second says the same thing with the third, only the one suits revelry better, the other with the church's holy customs, with the pious requests of every Christian person. The whole thing is a series of questions, the plague of pupil and teacher alike.

Who didn't wear the first ones from time to time! They are the shadows in the picture of life! If you were willing to soften them for others, then take heart, you did not live in vain. The third often drives up leaf and blossom; you also wear it from the master cobbler's hands; It is the rudder of the pipe of fire, To send swift death wherever you will. The whole thing rages in man's chest. Often he succumbs to it in hot wrestling. Quite often it will bring you the greatest pleasure in life, but more often it will bring you despair.

Already the veil of dusk sank softly and gently on forest and One, and now the night began to stir her dream-enfolded limbs. At the foot of a three--four I sat, before me the freshly greening meadow; I forgot the toil of the hot day in the sweet peace of nature. How refreshing was this coolness! It made heart and senses clear. -- How my first pair, athirst, refreshed itself after the day's turmoil! And from the last the flock returned with a melodious sound, while their shepherd, faithful and honest, sang a song in a pious spirit. The evening bells rang quietly across the field from the nearby town. -- So along with the whole word, I was also given a feast for the ears.
108.
Wine and songs flow from the first syllable, and what you think alone it makes known, Often it goes hand in hand with compulsion, It claps your free limbs in irons! But the second pair gives you hope again, Its breath of fire blows from land to land, Blows up the wall of your dungeon, Throws down your captors and your bonds. If two and one never seem to get along, the whole thing is still a high word, for which one only blames the contradiction; But his contradiction has ennobled many a great spirit! Indeed! The last refuge of the last would have died, had it died lately in our own days.
(Hauff.)

You appear once a year with all your splendor, and as in the year, you bloom only once in a lifetime. Love offers you the second; you know it in many kinds - everyone chooses what he likes most. So the whole belongs to the second, the delicious whole is given to you by the first. There is no one who ever disdains it.
