Nur das Irrthum ist das Leben,
Und das Wissen ist der Tot.
Error is life [life is error], and knowledge is death.
Wer erfreute sich des Lebens,
Der in seine Tiefen blickt!
Who can enjoy life who sees into its depths!
Friedrich Schiller, The Poems of Schiller, Complete: Including All his Early Suppressed Pieces, trans. Edgar Alfred Bowring (John W. Parker, 1851) 153-57.
