Fountain of Fate
Art Nouveau fountain in Stuttgart from 1914 by Karl Donndorf. In the middle the goddess of fate … left and right are lovers representing symbolizing joy and suffering.
The inscription reads like this: FROM THE DARK SOURCE OF FATE FLOWS
THE CHANGING FATE TODAY YOU STAND FIRM
AND TOMORROW YOU WAVE
ON THE WAVE - I prefer the German version: AUS DES SCHICKSALS DUNKLER QUELLE
RINNT DAS WECHSELVOLLE LOS
HEUTE STEHST DU FEST UND GROSS
MORGEN WANKST DU AUF DER WELLE
