    At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source
    (whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'fountain'):
    To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain:
