Nothing
Richard Georg Strauss
I should name, you say, my
queen in the realm of love?
You are fools, for I know
her less than you do.
Ask me about the color of her eyes;
ask me about the sound of her voice;
ask me about her gait and posture, and how she dances;
ah, what do I know about it?
Is not the sun the source
of all life and all light?
And about this, what do
I and you and everyone know? Nothing.
