From “Ode to Joy”, the European Anthem, the official anthem of the European Union, lyrics written by Friedrich Schiller, music by Ludwig van Beethoven:
“Joy, beautiful spark of the gods – Daughter of Elysium – We enter fire imbibed – Heavenly, thy sanctuary – Thy magic reunites those – Whom stern custom has parted – All men will become brothers – Under thy gentle wing – May he who has had the fortune – To gain a true friend…”
Unfortunately some people in Europe don’t want to be brothers anymore and rather lose friends.
