None of those hearts and flowers


The wording reads:
An Ihn!
Und wenn Ich Briefe, bogenlang ihm schriebe,
Kein Wort drückt aus, wie innig ich ihn liebe.

From a combination of half-remembered German lessons, guesswork, and online translators, I think this approximates to:
Even if I write the longest of letters to him
No word can express how much I love him.

This card was sent to me on 21 January 2010 from Briefzentrum 30 (Hanover), in nice time for Valentine's Day.  I really think I prefer it to standard Valentine's Day cards covered in hearts and flowers.  But then again, chance would be a fine thing!

  3. @jabblog, it's lovely isn't it? From what I can understand on the back, it comes from a book of postcards.

    @spinninglovelydays, oh dear! I haven't come across that problem before. It seems all right to me.

  4. It's so romantic, and much more so than an ordinary Hallmark card.

Welcome to my postcard collection! I love hearing what you think of the cards - but spam WILL be deleted.
