Translation request -- lines from Joeseph Campbell
Patrick Robert Mueller
Could someone who knows German please translate these two lines for me? There
are from page 53 of Joeseph Campbell's "The Inner Reaches of Outer Space".
They are:
"Alles Vergangliche ist nur ein Gleichnis" -- Goethe
"Alles Unvergangliche ist nur ein Gleichnis" -- Nietzsche
Thanks in advance...

Hello Patrick, let me make a trial:
Goethe: Everything transitory is only a simile.
Nietzsche: Everything perishable is only a simile.
Maybe this is not a "good" translation (don't have a dictionary) but may
help you to understand the meaning.

Can i give a more poetic, although not literal translation?
That way we won't think we're talking about vegetables!
Everything mortal is but an illusion -- Goethe
Everything immortal is but an illusion -- Nietzsche
