4.0 out of 5 stars Good book!, February 23, 2006

By	R. Michele Duncan (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was definitely worth the money. My only slight disappointment is that I wish there were more poems and less proverbs but overall, I really like this little book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful wedding poems, October 1, 2006

By	Monty Rainey (New Braunfels, TX) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I was recently asked to officiate a wedding for a German couple residing in the US, so I dug down off my shelf, TREASURY OF GERMAN LOVE POEMS, QUOTATIONS AND PROVERBS. I've had the book for many years but had never really had an occasion to reference it, but thought it might lend a nice touch for a German wedding. I not only found several verses applicable and appropriate for this ceremony, but many that I will use for other ceremonies as well.

The book is particularly useful for someone like me who speaks very limited German in that it gives the German verse, followed by an English translation, and in some cases, a literal tranlation. It's contents come from such noted sources as Goethe, Lessing and Nietzsche. This little book would also be useful for students learning German.
