Schlage die Trommel und fürchte dich...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Schlage die Trommel und fürchte dich nicht, und küsse die Marketenderin! Das ist die ganze Wissenschaft, das ist der Bücher tiefster Sinn. Trommle die Leute aus dem Schlaf, trommle Reveille mit Jugendkraft, marschiere trommelnd immer voran, das ist die ganze Wissenschaft. Das ist die Hegelsche Philosophie, das ist der Bücher tiefster Sinn! Ich habe sie begriffen, weil ich gescheit, und weil ich ein guter Tambour bin.
