JOHANN GAUDENZ SALIS, BARON VON SALIS-SEEWIS
Swiss soldier and poet (1762 - 1834)
|
Act! the wise are known by their actions; fame and immortality
are ever their attendants. Mark with deeds the vanishing traces
of swiftrolling time. Let us make happy the circle around
us,--be useful as much as we may. For that fills up with soft
rapture, that dissolves the dark clouds of the day!
- [Action]
Courage! even sorrows, when once they are vanished, quicken the
soul, as rain the valley.
- [Sorrow]
