[@Apokalipse] Haha I'm glad you like German so much as well <3 It's one of my favorite languages too :D
I'm reasonably good at both speaking and reading it (which might be due to the fact that I live in one of the neighboring countries). I'm able to have a standard conversation and read normal German novels, but poems are a whole different story... :p
I have a few German books at home, one of which is Faust (the paragraph in my post is from the prequel of Faust). I also have Leben des Galilei (Bertolt Brecht), Mutter Courage und Ihre Kinder (Bertolt Brecht), Der Vorleser (Bernhard Schlink) and a book of poems by Heinrich Heine at home. :3
Also I can imagine that our characters would either get along pretty well, or that Etsuko would get really annoyed by Nori. xD
'Cause Nori's like "there's something beautiful in every person~ =v=" while Etsuko hates everyone. x3

Also,

Nori approves lol
