Yes, it's true. I've started reading Ranier Maria Rilke. The library withdrew an old copy of the Duinesian Elegies with German text and translation with commentary. I am thrilled to find out that I still know SOME German from high school.
I'm taking it the slow route, even though my immediate reaction is to plow right through it. I trip that way.
