Thank you for looking up this quote. I remembered Arnim again as I read it.

Ron wondered who that Arnim is. Well, it`s quite simple: It`s Achim von
Arnim.
He was born 1781 in Berlin (died 1831) an d became a poet. He and his
friend
Clemens Brentano collected folksongs and edited them under the title "Des
Knaben Wunderhorn". Some of those songs were their own creation, so one
has to be careful. As this is off-topic, that may be enough. Nevertheless
that had been interesting times.

Bye,

Anja
