  • At Dresden on the Elbe, that handsome city,
    Where straw hats, verses, and cigars are made,
    They've built (it well may make us feel afraid,)
    A music club and music warehouse pretty.
    • Heinrich Heine, Book of Songs, Sonnets, Dresden Poetry; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 204.
  • In the valley of the Pegnitz, where,
    Across broad meadow-lands,
    Rise the blue Franconian mountains,
    Nuremburg, the ancient, stands.
    Quaint old town of toil and traffic,
    Quaint old town of art and song,
    Memories haunt thy pointed gables,
    Like the rooks that round thee throng.
