Quotes
Nun will euch Hülfe bringenDer gnadenreiche Tod.Den müßt ihr freundlich grüßen.Dann wird er freundlich auchUnd kehrt in Lust das Büssen.
Death comes to set thee free;Oh, meet him cheerily As thy true friend,And all thy fears shall cease,And in eternal peace Thy penance end.
Sintram und seine Gefährten (1815) ch. 20. Translated as Sintram and His Companions, "Pilgrim Song", st. 3. The translation of Fouqué's other romance Undine is attributed to Thomas Tracy in Undine, and Sintram and His Companions (NY: Wiley and Putnam, 1845). Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 11th ed. (1937) p. 1063, note, attributes the translation of Sintram to Tracy
