Schachmatt
Bei den drei Musen ist diese Woche die allseits beliebte Farbkombination schwarz-weiß-rot gefragt. Da war doch noch was… Diese Hochzeitskarte habe ich – unschwer zu erkennen – für einen Schachspieler und seine Liebste gebastelt.
In der Mitte steht das Hochzeitsgedicht von Wilhelm Busch: O wie lieblich, o wie schicklich…
The three muses want to see the alltime-favourite colour-combo of black-white-red this week. There was something I’ve been wanting to show you anyway… I made this wedding-card for a chess-player and his sweetheart.
The text on the front side translates: A declaration of love is similar to a ches-opening – the consequences are in calculable.
In the middle section there is a wedding-poem by the unique Wilhelm Busch, I’m not very good at rhymes but I tried to translate the words for you. I tried my best to catch the elated tone of voice but I’m afraid I’m nowhere near. Hope you still get the idea:
O how lovely, how becoming, so to speak even joyous,
it always is for a neighbourhood
when two people of good wealth,
and also content with themselves
well, when those, I tell you people,
at last get together the papers needed
and also sort out their matters domestic,
and with honor and in due time,
step towards the civil registry office,
just as is, for those who love,
stipulated by the law.
Then everybody will cry with joy:
“Thank heaven, they’ve got each other!”
Great cards, not too red 🙂
