Quote
“ But this happiness wants to envy the Parze me,
So I move to Galäsus shore edge,
where the noble silk lambs graze
And to the corridor that once ruled Phalant.
Yes, those blissful hills, those meadows,
they call me and you. There the
last tear may one day thaw lovingly, That
you weep your poet friend's ashes. "
- Thoughts on Galesus from Quintus Horatius Flaccus to Septimius ( translation by H. Stadelmann )
