	"Sælic sint die reines herzen sint", von Berthold von Regensburg
		Und als vil diu sunne liehter unde gelpfer ist danne wir dâ sehen, rehte als vil diu liehtes unde glastes über alle sternen hât die an dem himel stênt, als vil hât der wâre sunne in himelrîche schînes unde glastes mêr über alle engele und ist geschoenet unde gewirdet an allen êren, alse billich ist.
		Wan diu erde ist kalt unde trucken; alsô ist ouch diu gîtikeit: diu ist kalt der wâren minne und trucken aller wâren riuwe, wan dâ mite verirrent sie manic tûsent sêle, daz sie den wâren sunnen niemer mêr gesehent.
		Diu breitent sich danne etewenne für den nidern sunnen, daz wir in danne etwenne in einem halben tage niht ensehen, etewenne in einem vierteil eines tages und etewenne inner zwein tagen oder inner drin, als ez sich danne mit dem weter an rihtet.

	Diu - India - Mark Moxon, Travel Writer
		Diu feels like a frontier town and, given both its distant and recent history, it's not surprising.
		Between the 14th and 16th centuries Diu was an important trading post for the Ottoman Turks, but in 1535 the Portuguese took control on their second attempt, building a huge fort and settling in for a long old occupation.
		In the high season Diu must be quite the place to be, but I was glad it was the off-season: it would be harder to imagine Diu as a frontier town with hordes of local tourists wandering around.
