The final words of the Wild Woman of the Steinalb hills were a riddle:
"For know this, there are three things that contain all the fortune of earthly life: The cry of the cockerel, the fluttering of the quail, and the white lily! Whoever recognizes the wisdom in these words will have a golden blade in their plow!"
