As always, click on the pics to see and download (if you want) larger versions of each. Also, if anyone knows German, I would love to know what the tablet the woman is holding says.

"'Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.'" — Frederick Buechner
I put what words I could completely see into Babelfish, and this is what it generated:
probably tons of the life noth nevertheless schauert live before death — to live sees the dark hand, which… it offered bright cup
I think Babelfish is simply a word-by-word translator, so doesn’t deal with idioms and such. Maybe a German speaker can do better…
The inscription if the first 2 stanzas of a poem by Goethe:
“Truly death ends life’s need,
Yet shudders life ‘fore death;
Life sees the dark hand,
Not the bright chalice she offers.”
Thanks for the translation, Larry!
