What's the meaning? (from Faust) ? --------->
Und wenn es uns gluckt,
Und wenn es sich schickt,
So sind es Gedanken.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/schicken
(spoken by the witches' familiars (often presented as monkeys or apes)
who are in the witch's kitchen where potions are brewed)
So these are like (semi- nonsensical) incantations?
And if we get lucky,
And if everything fits,
So (in this way) our thoughts (luckily) fit
Maybe the idea is that... all the ingredients and the
ideas (thoughts) all fit into the magic potion?
These words are a lot like [Bubble, bubble, ...] in Macbeth?
