Comments on: Der Krieger und die Kaiserin http://heliolith.com/archives/2004/12/11/der-krieger-und-die-kaiserin/ The easiest way to avoid wrong notes is to never open your mouth and sing. What a mistake that would be. - Pete Seeger Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:59:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Talula http://heliolith.com/archives/2004/12/11/der-krieger-und-die-kaiserin/#comment-327 Wed, 22 Dec 2004 23:05:33 +0000 http://heliolith.com/archives/2004/12/11/der-krieger-und-die-kaiserin/#comment-327 Try "Doppo Mezzanotte" for beautiful, poetic, romantic cinema.

I'm more aggravated by bad translations of books. Yes!
