Here is a little Gedicht by Goethe. First in English, then in German. See if you can understand it?
“Hypochondriac”
Devil take the human race!
It's enough to drive you insane!
I continually make firm resolutions to stop seeing people and to consign the whole nation to God and to itself and to the devil! And then I have only to see a human face and I love it again.
Hypochonder
Der Teufel hol das Menschengeschlecht!
Man möchte rasend werden!
Da nehm ich mir so eifrig vor:
Will niemand weiter sehen,
Will all das Volk Gott und sich selbst
Und dem Teufel überlassen!
Und kaum seh ich ein Menschengesicht,
So hab ichs wieder lieb.
Stephan
