More Quotes from Friedrich Schlegel:
The most insignificant authors have at least this similarity to the Author of the Heavens and the Earth that after a days work is done, they have a habit of saying to themselves, And behold, what he made was good.Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Schlegel
