Erich Maria Remarque, “Three Comrades”
The music enchanted the air. It was like the south wind, like a warm night, like swelling sails beneath the stars, completely and utterly unreal... It made everything spacious and colourful, the dark stream of life seemed pulsing in it; there were no burdens any more, no limits; there existed only glory and melody and love, so that one simply could not realize that, at the same time as this music was, outside there ruled poverty and torment and despair.

I didn't attend the funeral...Swimming is a confusing sport...Man lives in a world of surmise...In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar...Sadness flies away on the wings of time...Through a painting we can see the whole world...
