~ Dies kleine Ding bracht jeder Zeit ~ | |
The verse is on the lid of the Natural Science book stein marked with the Mettlach logo and 2001 E, ca. 1900. The verse implies that matters of the heart can supercede any careful scientific endeavors. | |
Dies kleine Ding bracht jeder Zeit die Weisen in Verlegenheit. |
This tiny object could always devise ways to embarrass the wise. |
