Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - THE FOX AND HUNTSMAN.

HARD ’tis on a fox’s traces

To arrive, midst forest-glades;
Hopeless utterly the chase is,

If his flight the huntsman aids.

And so ’tis with many a wonder,

(Why A B make Ab in fact,)
Over which we gape and blunder,

And our head and brains distract.

                                1821.*
