I don't have my books with me and can not find the quote on line but it was in one of Tom Johnson's. It went something like this "A man who finds no pleasure in a Falcons flight, fast horse, sharp sword or a beautiful woman has on lust for life” Are there any other translations?

Bama, I don't know the context of the quote or any translations, I'm sorry...but I saw this on the active threads and I would like to say that that quote MADE MY NIGHT

Hello, I think it is a typing error and the "has ON lust for life" should mean "has NO lust for life". But then the translation of the well known german wording is ok so what do you mean with "other translation"?
Regards,

"He who finds no pleasure in a naked sword, a falcon's flight, a noble horse, a beautiful woman, has no real lust for life." Byzanti, glad it made your night, it has always been a favorite of mine. Wotan, thanks for the reply. By "other translation, I meant that sometimes there are phrases or words in German that don't translate well to English or there are different meanings to the same words sometimes and wanted to know if there were different opinions on the translation.

Can someone please send me a photo of this blade. I have the set but cannot find Vol. II which I believe its in. Thanks

I tried to take photos from the book,unfortunately the results were poor. The picture (army dagger) however is on page 20 of Vol VII.
