~ Gott hat in Gnaden den Durst geschaffen ~ | |
This is a take off on the Biblical creation story, but with different characters. The cats are the symbol of the hangover and the monkeys of drunkenness. The stein is of blue/gray, salt-glazed, stoneware, ca. 1900. See also: "Gott hat den Durst geschaffen" for a similar verse. | |
Gott hat in Gnaden den Durst geschaffen, der Teufel aus Bosheit, den Kater und Affen. |
God in His grace created thirst, the devil in wickedness, the cats and monkeys. |
