saresmoore Ah, yes. This one. 🤔 I know half of a song, a phrase or two, and a handful (mouthful?) of curse words in German. I'm off to Google! 8y
saresmoore !!! Okay, I'm sold. I must read this and Death in Venice...in an English translation. 8y
Hobbinol @saresmoore Sorry if I made you curse in German😆❗I should have checked the record. My edition is in German with notes in English and I read it when I finished my undergrad and the language was still fresh in my memory. I'd like to brush up on my German in order to read additional works. Death in Venice is wonderful! 8y

saresmoore No need to apologize! I love a good bookish rabbit trail (hole). Ha! 8y
LeahBergen Gah!!! I'm in love with your musketeer! 💗 8y
Hobbinol @LeahBergen That's a William Tell bank that's been handed down in my family. It's well over a hundred years old. And it still works: you load a coin on the rifle and press Tell's shoe. The rifle then shoots the apple off the kid's head before it falls into the building for safekeeping . And thank you! 8y
vivastory Better William Tell than William S. Burroughs & Joan Burroughs 8y
Hobbinol @vivastory Ha! Seriously! 👏🏻 8y
shawnmooney That William Tell bank - OMG – I guess you'll never invite @LeahBergen and me to your house because one of us is sure to abscond with it… 8y
Hobbinol @shawnmooney Thank you! We'll take the money inside and buy ourselves ice cream cones! 8y
