~ Unverhofft kommt oft ~ | |
The verse is translated here literally so the reader can see that every word in this sentence is a cognate. It is an old German proverb that means "The unexpected usually happens." The blue-gray, stoneware stein without lid is marked with the S. P. Gerz logo, Germany and "379", ca. 1900. | |
Unverhofft kommt oft. | The un-hoped for comes often. |
