damn, i feel uncomfortable bordering on THREATENED. lol.
came across this line while researching on Secession style in Wien:
"To every age its art and to art its freedom."
"Der Zeit ihre Kunst, der Kunst ihre Freiheit."
that line is amazing. it was, according to wikipedia, carved above the entrance of the Secesssion building. this line honestly sounds better in english. lol. but anyway the german version is cool cos it so happens all the nouns in this line are feminine!! wow. die Zeit, die Kunst, die Freiheit. anyhow, i realise i missed out many buildings while i was on my trip. like in wien, i did go to the karlsplatz station (to change train!!) but i was only underground! can't believe myself. tsk. but anyway didn't see much of wien lah.. it was only one short (rainy) day.
