by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Totalität
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Kavalier von Kopf und Herz Ist überall willkommen; Er hat mit seinem Witz und Scherz Manch Weibchen eingenommen: Doch wenn's ihm fehlt an Faust und Kraft, Wer mag ihn dann beschützen? Und wenn er keinen Hintern hat, Wie mag der Edle sitzen?
