“At Dresden English is very generally cultivated among the well educated ranks … I have sometimes doubted whether German was not as phrasing a language as Italian … while the expressions awake so many feelings and associations, that the merely sensual claims of the ear are in a great measure disregarded." / Russell Tour in Germany”
