His sole effort had seemed to be to interfere with no one
No virtue which can be owned like a house or a steed
Retreat behind the high-sounding words "justice and law"
Strongest of all educational powers—sorrow and love
Usually found the worst wine in the taverns with showy signs
ETEXT EDITOR'S BOOKMARKS FOR THE ENTIRE FIRE OF THE FORGE:
Abandoned women (required by law to help put out the fires)
Deem every hour that he was permitted to breathe as a gift
False praise, he says, weighs more heavily than disgrace
His sole effort had seemed to be to interfere with no one
No virtue which can be owned like a house or a steed
Retreat behind the high-sounding words "justice and law"
Shipwrecked on the cliffs of 'better' and 'best'
Strongest of all educational powers—sorrow and love
The heart must not be filled by another's image
Usually found the worst wine in the taverns with showy signs
Welcome a small evil when it barred the way to a greater one

(GRED) A TALE OF OLD NUREMBERG
By Georg Ebers
Translated from the German by Clara Bell
Volume 1. TRANSLATOR'S NOTE:
In translating what is supposed to be a transcript into modern German of the language of Nuremberg in the fifteenth century, I have made no attempt to imitate English phraseology of the same date. The difficulty would in fact be insuperable to the writer and the annoyance to the reader almost equally great.
I have merely endeavored to avoid essentially modern words and forms of speech.
