Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller

Joy, thou spark from Heav'n immortal, Daughter of Elysium! Drunk with fire, toward Heaven advancing Goddess, to thy shrine we come. Thy sweet magic brings together What stern Custom spreads afar All men become brothers Where thy happy wing-beats are.
Friedrich Schiller
What is life without the radiance of love?
Friedrich Schiller
