The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Hermione's Little Group of Serious Thinkers by Don Marquis: man who spoke to us -- he was the LOVELIEST person!
-- spoke in German, we may have missed some of
the finer shades.
Oh, yes, I had German in high school . . . real-
ly, I was quite proficient . . . although, of course,
it's such a GUTTURAL kind of language -- don't you
think? -- that one wonders how they EVER sing it.
And then, the verbs! . . . but I had Latin verbs
about the same time, you know . . . and really,
isn't it surprising how some of those foreign lan-
guages seem to RUN to verbs, if you get what I mean?
