Amazingly, my new neighborhood has a cluster of streets named after the giants of German and Austro-Hungarian classicism and romanticism. There are streets named after Goethe and Schiller (both pictured above), as well as a Mozart Street, a Beethoven Street, and a Schubert Street (sadly, no Schumann or Brahms), and the unidiomatically-spelled (and perhaps -pronounced) Haendel and Hayden [sic] Streets. Perhaps I will be happy here.
A nice country town near here is called "Milton", so, of course, it has a Chaucer Street, as well as Shakespeare, Spenser, Dryden, Burns, Cowper, Johnson and Scott Streets. Also, charmingly, it has an Ossian Street.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll retire to Johnson Street. Which street would you live in?

Beethoven Street, without a doubt. (Actually, it has the nicest homes around here, too.) But Ossian Street would be a very close second.
