Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Yes, I have finally arrived to this Capital of the World! I now see all the dreams of my youth coming to life... Only in Rome is it possible to understand Rome.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

All that is transitory is but a metaphor.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
