“Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him until he emerges on the other side of his Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.”

William Arthur Ward
“Why indeed must ''God'' be a noun? Why not a verb - the most active and dynamic of all.”
Mary Daly
“Poetry is all nouns and verbs”
Marianne Moore
“The proverbial German phenomenon of the verb-at-the-end about which droll tales of absentminded professors who would begin a sentence, ramble on for an entire lecture, and then finish up by rattling off a string of verbs by which their audience, for whom the stack had long since lost its coherence, would be totally nonplussed, are told, is an excellent example of linguistic recursion.”
Douglas Hofstadter
