Fred <fred.sheim@-----.net> asked for a translation of
<<
was sich nie und nirgends hat begeben, das allein veraltet nie.
>>
I would translate it like
"What never and nowhere has gone to, will never become obsolete".
The meaning of this phrase, that might have been written by a romantic
German philosopher like Schlegel, or the pessimist Schopenhauer, or even
Nietzsche, is strongly dependent on the context, I think, I can give several
interpretations of these words.
Hope this helps
Rien
