The little story about Ludwig der Deutsche gets its own entry. 8D Because it's just that fun.
So. It's a quote from the Reginonis Chronicon written by Regino von Prüm. Unfortunately it's only in Latin and I didn't found a translation so I had to do it on my own (and boy, my Latin is rusty.). I didn't translate it faithfully in the sense that I didn't translate every word. I only kind of summarize it. (And I found a translation of the last two or three lines so I can't take any credit for that anyway.)
( Cut for surprisingly long quote and translation )

On a different topic. If you like really calm and almost serene stories about all different kind of people, let me rec you Jiro Taniguchi. He has some really great works about life itself and humans. I don't like all of his works (some are too calm for me), but "Keyaki no Ki" (which doesn't seem to be translated into English according to Wikipedia) or "Aruku Hito" (also not translated) are... beautiful, I guess is the right work. Very calm. Mostly about older people and often about the struggle about retirement and everyday´s life or loss of an important friendship or family. Check it out if you like that stuff.
