wie die Sternen Nacht

“‘‘Da trat hervor Einer, anzusehen wie die Sternen Nacht.’. . .’”

Charlotte Bronte, quoting Friedrich von Schiller’s The Robbers, in Jane Eyre, 1847. According to Susan Ostrav Weisser’s 2003 notes, this translates as “Then there stepped forth one, in appearance like the starry sky.”
