    1. [GERMAN-LIFE] Schiller
    2. Stanley A. Wickman
    3. In Will Durant's book, "Rousseau and Revolution," Volume 10 of the 11 volume "The Story of Civilization," I read these words of Schiller. Can you hear the melody? Freude, schoener Goetterfunken Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken Himmlische, dein Heiligtum. Seine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng gesteilt, Alle Menschen werden Brueder Wo dein sanfter Fluegel weilt. Chorus: Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Diesen Kuss der ganzen Welt! Brueder-ueberm Sternenzelt Muss ein lieber Vater wohnen. Because I studied German for two semesters 55 years ago, I can pronounce the words without understanding. As I read them to myself, the melody came to mind and I broke out in gooseflesh. Stan from Livonia, MI searching for WICKMAN and GREINER
