Science skills

16.10.2007 admin

Theodor Fontane is characterizing Adolf Menzel:

Gaben, wer hätte sie nicht.
Talent, Spielzeug für Kinder.
Erst der Ernst macht den Mann,
Erst der Fleiß das Genie.

Skills, everyone has quids.
Talents, toys of the kids.
Seriousness makes a man,
dilligence the genius span.

sorry for my translation ;-)
