English Translation

2 The Droshke leads him, draws his heart to beautiful operas and concerts, which also, which cannot be denied, are excellent for dialogue. You sit sociably among many, so intimately close to upholstered chairs, You are so full of human warmth, But eternally the gel guts, the grunting, blaring and girder of the musical harnesses, which sets a crowd in black Pracke, with crooked fingers, full of cheeks, rushed by Master Zappelmann, stubbornly in motion. Thus the right conversation only develops insufficiently. From the introduction to "Maler Klecksel" by Wilhelm Busch.
