[Culturechat] A nice thought

[Vance Roy]

This is an obituary from today's Luzern paper. I thought it beautiful. 
The lady was only fifty-one. I wish I had met her. It was written by 
her or her husband, I think. It translates from the German quite nicely.

> I would like to be as a Magnolia tree blooming each Spring
>
> I would like to be as a Nightingale with a sweet voice
>
> Or, a mountain wrapped in the warm sun, washed clean by the rain, and 
> finally to live a hundred years on its peak
>
> NO, not me!
>
> I don't want to be a magnolia tree, not a Nightingale, and also not 
> even a mountain
>
> I want to be me
> I am me
> I remain me, only for you.
