| ~ So wie ein flüchtig Hirschelein ~ | |
| It's probably better to relax than to go out chasing rainbows seems to be the meaning of this verse on a Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein designed by Franz Ringer and marked with the Reinhold Merkelbach logo, ca. early 1900's. | |
|
So wie ein flüchtig Hirschelein so will das Glück erjaget sein, ich aber will nit jagen gahn will lieber meine ruhe han... |
Just as a fleeting little deer so will luck be pursued, but I will not pursue enthusiastically as I would rather have my peace. |
