Can Spanish and German speakers recommend me some famous pieces in literature, speeches, or poetry that are often committed to memory in their respective countries? Where I grew up in the US, in school everyone memorized things like Lincoln's Gettysburg address, Paul Revere's Ride, the preamble to the constitution, the Raven etc. Obviously this is going to differ hugely from country to country, especially with Spanish, but I'm interested in memorizing pieces of historical and culture importance, things that your average Joe is going to be familiar with. Thanks for your input!
