Alles Vergängliche Ist nur ein Gleichnis! Das Unzulängliche, Hier wird's Erreichnis; Das Unbeschreibliche, Hier ist's getan; Das Ewig-Weibliche Zieht uns hinan!
I regret that my German is terrible, and thus cannot yet enjoy Goethe in his native language. I have been told that English translations don't convey the brilliance.
