Légende

In the English Garden at Munich, 1881. 'The so-called English Garden at Munich is adorned with a so-called Chinese Tower. It is fantastic and German, but a very good place to drink beer, to smoke, to moralise, to sentimentalise, and to hear music, which is sure to be very good, and so is the beer. These are both very good things, each in its way, and it is the judgment of German philosophers, which we shall not dispute, that they agree very well together. The best Munich beer, it is confessed, may be got at the Hofbrau-haus, in the Platzchen; unless you happen to be there in the month of May, when you should ask for "Bock-bier," just then in season, in a street opposite the Hotel des Quatre Saisons, in Maximilian's Strasse. But there are many varieties of that innocent and agreeable beverage, the glory of Bavaria, the inspiration of Art and Poetry, which one would desire yearly to quaff on the banks "of Isar, rolling rapidly," or of the Schwabinger Bach, while listening to the strains of a delicious waltz from a perfect military band. As Milton says - He who of such delights can judge, nor spare To interpose them oft, is not unwise'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
