Gellert and Laudon met each other for the first time in Karlovy Vary, as both were advanced in years. Gellert's already serious moves were made at the age even more serious, and Loudon had known no more intelligent physiognomy, which is said to have been the reason for the fact that Frederick the Great at the time refused to take the outstanding soldiers in his services. He later regretted it often enough.
After Laudon considered the poet a while, he could not refrain from saying: "Tell me, sir, as you have so much to write cheerful. . I can not understand it, if I watch you "
Gellert replied, smiling:" Tell me first, sir, how is it possible that you will win the battle of Kolin and Schweidnitz could take. I can not understand it, if I watch you. "
