<p><a title="Observer" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/nov/22/schnittke-between-two-worlds-rumpelstiltskin" target="_blank">Observer: Fiona Maddocks</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Mind-blowing is one of those expressions best allowed out every five years at most. This quinquennial airing greets the UK premiere of Alfred Schnittke&#8217;s extraordinary <em>The History of D Johann Faustus</em>, part of the London Philharmonic Orchestra&#8217;s <strong>Between Two Worlds</strong> festival lovingly devised by conductor Vladimir Jurowski.&#8221;</p>
<p><a title="Evening Standard" href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/music/review-23771931-faust---as-youve-never-seen-him-before.do" target="_blank">Evening Standard: Barry Millington</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Many are the treatments of Faust I&#8217;ve encountered. But no Gretchen and two Mephistopheles &#8211; a vampish <a title="More on Marlene Dietrich..." href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/related-3363-marlene-dietrich.do">Marlene Dietrich</a> figure and a countertenor with high heels and no trousers?</p>
<p>This is the conception of Alfred Schnittke, however, whose bizarre imagination leads him up many an unconventional path in his opera The History of Dr Johann Faustus.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Finally went to see a show last night. I know—&#8221;finally&#8221; seems like an odd choice, since I see dozens of shows a year, but somehow the fates got together and decided that one thing or another would keep from sitting in a dark room with a bunch of strangers for several weeks. So &#8211; Finally! A little art. A little theatre. Perhaps a cocktail or two before at a nice meal.</p>
<p>Well, that latter part didn&#8217;t happen.</p>
<p>What did happen is that I caught a new, original, company created work at <a href="http://www.sandboxtheatreonline.com/" target="_blank">Sandbox Theatre</a> called <em><strong>.faust</strong></em>. Over the past few years Sandbox has created a name for itself for its highly stylized, visually stunning original pieces. Their work is not created in the <em>usual</em> sense, in that they don&#8217;t employ the standard, modern working relationship between actors and director and playwright. It&#8217;s collaborative across the board, and the script and staging are all developed through an intense rehearsal process.</p>
<p>While working this way is not necessarily unique, as there have been many companies who have worked this way, particularly here in the Twin Cities, it creates a unique piece different from so many other shows. There was beautiful imagery with the sets, costumes, staging. There were puppets and cothurni (of sorts) and crashing walls and cliffs that people fell off. The sense of ensemble was incredibly strong—you&#8217;d think that some of these actors had been working together for years and perhaps had a shared training experience. There was so much about the piece that felt organic, so many actors in perfect rhythm with the others. Of course, there were a few times when it wasn&#8217;t that, which only made these slightly not-quite-what-they-were-going-for moments that much more noticeable. Truthfully, though, I&#8217;m being picky to even identify that.</p>
<p>One thing about the show last night that we discussed afterward was having <em>.faust</em> as a title. As you can guess the play was a retelling of the story of Faust, the man who makes a deal with the devil. I wasn&#8217;t sure why the dot. Before the show is cast there&#8217;s a concept of some kind and a title. But my understanding is that the majority of the script is company created in rehearsals. A title with dot in it made me think that it was going to be some modern-day retelling, something involving the interwebs or something (there wasn&#8217;t any of that,) and that in the process of developing the play it wandered away from that. Or, perhaps, the dot was intended as a delineation because three people played Faust?</p>
<p><em>I&#8217;m not sure why the dot.</em></p>
<p>The thing I came away with though, the important thing, is that this kind of theatre is needed. Original, company created works are needed to keep the theatre world healthy and vibrant, interesting and intriguing, and moving forward. I applaud them for their tenacity and gumption. On a side note &#8211; the fact that they were using Red Eye&#8217;s space is oh, so appropriate. I love walking in to that space, knowing the experimental theatre history created by those people, in that building, and seeing a new company years later picking up the task in that same playground. (or Sandbox, I guess.)</p>
<p>This work, though, comes with its own pitfalls, many of which Sandbox has seemed to avoid thus far. The biggest one would be creating a beautiful and poignant and touching and magical world <em>in their own world.</em> It&#8217;s very easy for group think to take over and blind people to the outside eye. It&#8217;s the outside eye, that director&#8217;s eye, that can play an important part. (Or so Thespus thought.) And if that gets lost in the process then the beauty and artistry will only be such to those who made it and not to anyone else.</p>
<p><strong>Like Faust, they could be seeking something that they can never have.</strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t really think this happened with this production, except, perhaps, in one small element. It took me some time to recognize it, but I realized I wasn&#8217;t emotionally drawn in to this show and I think it&#8217;s because the show was so intellectual. It was all very heady. I didn&#8217;t feel as if I connected with anyone. Maybe that was intentional. I don&#8217;t know. And it&#8217;s possible that the people involved all saw and felt it all so clearly that they assumed that would come across to the audience members. And, at least for me, it didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>This is their biggest pitfall ahead of them. I&#8217;m fairly certain though, given the ingenuity, drive and energy of the people running this thing that they&#8217;ll find a way to keep going and not fall in that trap. If they&#8217;re smart and talented enough to create some of the stuff I&#8217;ve seen already, then they will. I certainly hope they do.</p>

<div>After a brief discussion in <a href="http://indieethos.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/faust-iv_1/" target="_self">my Faust review</a> with a member of the Faust-Pages mailing list regarding the origin of the opening cut of <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LBGBFY/ref=sm_xx__invsearch" target="_blank">Faust IV</a></em>, &#8220;Krautrock,&#8221; founding member and bassist/vocalist Jean-Hervé Péron stepped forward to explain its origin. Here is his message to the mailing list:</div>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">&#8220;it is true to say that we named that song as a reaction to the press<br />
which, at that time, were using the term &#8220;Krautrock&#8221; with a tongue in<br />
cheek attitude which was definitely pejorativ&#8230;so we thought &#8220;up yours<br />
friends! you say krautrock, you get krautrock !&#8221; and laughed &#8230;<br />
in the meantime, the term &#8220;krautrock&#8221; lost its negative touch to even reach a<br />
peek ( when ? i dont know exactly) of sincere respect..and finally has gone<br />
down again to an even worse status as it had at the beginning&#8230; they<br />
( the media) use it because it ( still) sells &#8230;no matter who plays no<br />
matter what&#8230;fuck them ! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) ( dont worry , i am still laughing..<br />
and it is completly wrong to think we wanted to take the piss out of any<br />
other german or non-german band&#8230;:)<br />
ok ?<br />
now you know <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
all best<br />

<p>Z beznadzieją starości polemizuje debiut fabularny znanego dokumentalisty Jacka Bławuta pt. <em>&#8220;Jeszcze nie wieczór&#8221;.</em><br />
Nie jest to film zwyczajny z wielu względów, a jednym z nich jest jego wartość&#8230; dokumentalna właśnie. Utrwala on bowiem w naszej pamięci odchodzącą bezpowrotnie w przeszłość pewną epokę kina, a właściwie &#8211; pewnego rodzaju aktorstwa, które było bardziej misją i powołaniem, niż zawodem. A wiadomo, że odchodzenie w przeszłość jakiejś epoki, to nic innego, jak odchodzenie ludzi, którzy tę epokę tworzyli. W tym przypadku: całej plejady znakomitych polskich aktorów sceny teatralnej i filmowej.</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Akcja dzieje się w miejscu jak najbardziej prawdziwym: w Domu Aktora w Skolimowie, (którego pełna nazwa brzmi: Dom Artystów Weteranów Scen Polskich), gdzie mieszka &#8211; mając zapewnioną stałą opiekę &#8211; kilkudziesięciu emerytowanych aktorów. Jak najbardziej prawdziwy jest również Jan Nowicki (Wielki Szu), który zjawia się tam pewnego dnia niczym <em>Deus ex Machina</em> (to nic, że niekiedy bardziej przypomina on diabła z piekła rodem) i porywa wszystkich do pracy nad nowym spektaklem teatralnym, jakim ma być<em> &#8220;Faust&#8221;</em> Goethego.</p>
<div id="attachment_497" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://wizjalokalna.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/szaflarska-bl-1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-497" title="Szaflarska.bl.1" src="http://wizjalokalna.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/szaflarska-bl-1.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="268" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Danuta Szaflarska jesienią</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">To wszystko jest dla Bławuta pretekstem do ukazania całego grona starych ludzi, którzy żyją już właściwie tylko przeszłością, jednakże, kiedy w ich swchyłkowym życiu pojawia się możliwość stworzenia czegoś jeszcze, wykorzystania swego talentu i umiejęności, zwrócenia na siebie czyjejś uwagi &#8211; poddają się owemu <em>spiritus movens</em> z całym swoim entuzjazmem i nadzieją.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Wygląda na to, że Bławut tym filmem chciał stworzyć coś w rodzaju apoteozy starości, a jego sukces polega na tym, że my &#8211; widzowie &#8211; jesteśmy mu skłonni uwierzyć, iż owa starość może być najlepszym okresem w życiu człowieka.<br />
Abstrahując od naprawdę świetnej i skutecznej w swoim artyźmie formy filmu zrealizowanego z olbrzymią dozą ciepła i wrażliwości na ludzką kondycję, jego nieprzemijająca wartość polega również na tym, że zdoałał on zarejestrować ostatnie dokonania wielu polskich aktorów, wśród których znaleźli sie m.in. Nina Andrycz, Irena Kwiatkowska, Danuta Szaflarska, Beata Tyszkiewicz, Wieńczysław Gliński, Witold Gruca (to był dla mnie mały szok widzieć tu tego znakomitego choreografa i tancerza, jako zniedołężniałego starca na wózku inwalidzkim), Roman Kłosowki&#8230; czy zwracający w tym filmie szczególną uwagę na siebie Lech Gwit.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nie mniej ciekawe jak sam film, było spotkanie z reżyserem Jackiem Bławutem, które odbyło się po jego projekcji. Oprócz poruszenia kwestii bardziej poważnych, które interesowały widzów, sypnął on całą wiązanką anegdot o aktorach, z którymi przyszło mu się zetknąć podczas pracy nad filmem. Była również ta o Janie Nowickim: kiedy Bławut przyprowadził go po raz pierwszy do tego domu &#8211; co tu kryć &#8211; starców, i kiedy broniący się jeszcze przed smugą cienia Nowicki zobaczył ich zwiędłych i zszarzałych, snujących się po korytarzach, majaczących w oknach i kolebiących się bezmyślnie na krzesłach, usłyszał wtedy szept Wielkiego Szu: &#8220;wytruć to, wytruć!&#8221;. W parę miesięcy później jednak trudno go było od nich wszystkich odciągnąć, a przyjaźń, jaka się wówczas wywiązała między nim a Witoldem Grucą, była chyba ostatnim zrywem uczucia, jakim obdarzył zmarły wkrótce Gruca świat i drugiego człowieka.</p>
<p>Koniecznie musicie ten film zobaczyć.</p>

<p>Z beznadzieją starości polemizuje debiut fabularny znanego dokumentalisty Jacka Bławuta pt. <em>&#8220;Jeszcze nie wieczór&#8221;.</em><br />
Nie jest to film zwyczajny z wielu względów, a jednym z nich jest jego wartość&#8230; dokumentalna właśnie. Utrwala on bowiem w naszej pamięci odchodzącą bezpowrotnie w przeszłość pewną epokę kina, a właściwie &#8211; pewnego rodzaju aktorstwa, które było bardziej misją i powołaniem, niż zawodem. A wiadomo, że odchodzenie w przeszłość jakiejś epoki, to nic innego, jak odchodzenie ludzi, którzy tę epokę tworzyli. W tym przypadku: całej plejady znakomitych polskich aktorów sceny teatralnej i filmowej.<br />
<span style="font-size:small;font-family:georgia,palatino;"><br />
Akcja dzieje się w miejscu jak najbardziej prawdziwym: w Domu Aktora w Skolimowie, (którego pełna nazwa brzmi: Dom Artystów Weteranów Scen Polskich), gdzie mieszka &#8211; mając zapewnioną stałą opiekę &#8211; kilkudziesięciu emerytowanych aktorów. Jak najbardziej prawdziwy jest również Jan Nowicki (Wielki Szu), który zjawia się tam pewnego dnia niczym <em>Deus ex Machina</em> (to nic, że niekiedy bardziej przypomina on diabła z piekła rodem) i porywa wszystkich do pracy nad nowym spektaklem teatralnym, jakim ma być<em> &#8220;Faust&#8221;</em> Goethego.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Im zweiteiligen Lebenswerk Goethes &#8211; &#8220;Faust&#8221; &#8211; tritt die Hauptperson Faust z]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><!-- 		@page { margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->Im zweiteiligen Lebenswerk Goethes &#8211; &#8220;Faust&#8221; &#8211; tritt die Hauptperson Faust zu Beginn des ersten und des zweiten Teils mit einem Monolog auf.</p>
<p>Der folgende Vergleich zeigt die Parallelen und Unterschiede dieser beiden Monologe auf.</p>
<p>Faust wird in der Nachtszene (Faust I) als eine stets strebende, jedoch monologische und weltlose Existenz vorgestellt, die das Höhere sucht, ohne es überhaupt erfassen zu können.</p>
<p>In seinem pulsierenden Monolog in einer anmutigen Gegend (Faust II) zeigt Faust sich zwar immernoch als Strebender, jedoch hat er eine bedeutende Entwicklung erfahren, welche ihm ermöglicht, das Wirkliche neu zu definieren und es zu erfassen, um so sogar zu einer Erkenntnis zu kommen.</p>
<p>Dieser bedeutende Grundunterschied in den beiden Monologen ist elementar für die Veränderungen in Faust, für seine Weltanschauung und für seinen Umgang mit Natureindrücken.</p>
<p>Goethe stellt Faust in beiden Szenen in den Mittelpunkt seines Daseins; zum einen in die Wissenschaft, zum anderen in die Natur. Beide Male stellt er eine im Grunde bedeutungslose Existenz dar, welche in einem &#8220;hochgewölbten Zimmer&#8221; und in einer anmutigen Gegend von unbegrenzter Größe ausgesetzt ist, hiermit aber das Verloren-Sein uns das Irren der gesamten Menschheit vertritt. Faust repräsentiert in der Nachtszene der Spiegel von Höhen und Tiefen, von Diastole und Systole, womit er auch das Menschenbild Goethes hervorbringt. Der Mensch ist strebend, muss aber erst im Laufe des Lebens lernen, das Angestrebte wahrzunehmen und zu verarbeiten.</p>
<p>Der Erdgeist (&#8220;Du gleichst dem Geist, den du begreifst, nicht mir!&#8221;; V. 512) und die Sonne (&#8220;Sie tritt hervor! &#8211; und leider schon geblendet&#8221;; V. 4702) sind die zentralen Motive, die die Schwierigkeit des Erfassens des Höheren aufzeigen. Im Monolog aus dem zweiten Teil werden allerdings das ständige Verfallen in Depression und das blinde Verlangen nach Allheit verlassen und Faust in die Gegenwelt zum &#8220;Kerker&#8221;, die freie Natur, gesetzt. Nach dem Durchleben zahlreicher Ereignisse und der Reinigung im Heilschlaf werden zum ersten Mal Lehren aus den Natureindrücken Fausts möglich. Das Empfangen der Schönheit des Tagesanbruchs (&#8220;Ätherische Dämmerung milde zu begrüßen&#8221;; V: 4681) lässt die Sinne Fausts wie auch in der Nachtszene &#8220;sich erwühlen&#8221; (V. 479), jedoch findet ein Umschwung seines Strebensmotives statt. Es erfolgt nicht mehr ein Sich-Gleichsetzen mit der Götterebene (&#8220;Ich Ebenbild der Gottheit&#8221;; V. 516). Faust sucht dementsprechend die Wahrheit nicht mehr in dem, was ihn zugrunde gehen lassen würde, sondern erkennt, dass eine unmittelbare Anschauung des Göttlichen dem Menschen vorenthalten bleibt. Die Reflexion der Sonne im Wasser, welche Faust betrachtet, stillt deshalb seinen Erkenntnisdrang und lässt Faust in diesem Eindruck eine Hindeutung auf das Göttliche sehen, welche für Zufriedenheit im Strebenden sorgt (&#8220;Am farbigen Abglanz haben wir das Leben.&#8221;; V.4728).</p>
<p>Wie es von Anfang an Fausts Ziel war, kontemplative Prinzipien zu verlassen, ist ihm dies tatsächlich gelungen. Eine weitere Stufe der Selbsterkenntnis ist jedoch erreicht: das richtige Erfassen der Natur. Faust hat zwar nicht erkannt, &#8220;was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält&#8221; (V. 382), er erlebt aber die Natur so stark, dass von ihm eine gewisse Ruhe ausgestrahlt wird, die sich in den rhythmisch harmonischen, aber auch impulsiven Versen äußert. Verzweifelte Knittelverse und deren Unregelmäßigkeit lösen sich gänzlich in einem freien Hochgefühl auf; der zweite Faustmonolog weist einen fast gesanglichen, feierlichen Charakter auf.</p>
<p>Die Erkenntniskrise Fausts scheint im Monolog aus Faust II vollständig überwunden und die Hybris verlassen. Fausts unersättlicher Wahrheitsdrang war Auslöser für Entgrenzungsversuche, die scheiterten, aber gleichzeitig den Hunger nach Leben stillten und sich schlussendlich in anderen Werten manifestierten. Die irdische Wirklichkeit wird nun als Gleichnis empfunden, welches der gesamten Menschheit zugänglich ist.</p>
<p>Die Bereitschaft zu Lehren und Erfahrungen auf dem Weg zur Wirklichkeit, das Überwinden von Tiefen und eine persönliche Bestimmung des Ganzheitsbegriffs sind dabei von immenser Wichtigkeit. Faust durchlebt diese Prozesse wie vom Schicksal bestimmt, in Wahrheit sind sie aber das Ergebnis einer unterminierten Eigendynamik, die vom Instinkt geprägt wird und der eigentliche Schlüssel zur Wirklichkeit ist.</p>

<description><![CDATA[A propos de  « The Rake’s Progress » d’Igor STRAVINSKY (1882-1971) « Faust est absolument comparable]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A propos de  « The Rake’s Progress » d’Igor STRAVINSKY (1882-1971)</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">« Faust est absolument comparable à un miroir qui réfléchit les modifications auxquelles l’humanité a été soumise l’espace des derniers siècles. » Schnittke</p>
<pre style="padding-left:30px;text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/krotchka/matreetmarguerite1.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="271" />S.A. Alimov, <em>L'appartement maudit </em>(1975)
</pre>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tel qu’il apparaît, avec sa machine à transformer les pierres en pain, Tom Rakewell représente un Faust sans envergure, stade appauvri du mythe, presque sa dégénérescence. Fuyant ses responsabilités et la perspective d’un travail honnête, le libertin de Stravinsky se laisse séduire et dévoyer en succombant au mirage de la jouissance immédiate et de l’argent facile. Certes, s’il est vrai qu’on a le diable qu’on mérite, celui de Tom Rakewell est assez pitoyable et l’issue du pacte – la folie – n’est pas moins grotesque que son enjeu. Ce Faust-là est moderne mais aussi un peu moribond. Antihéros plus ou moins charismatique, ce qu’il dénonce peut être classé sans suite. Aussi Tom Rakewell est-il autant l’incarnation contemporaine d’un mythe que dérivé d’une série de gravures de William Hogarth (peintre anglais du XVIIIème siècle). D’un point de vue strictement littéraire, la double origine de ce personnage l’alourdit considérablement. Dépouillé de toute dimension métaphysique, le mythe faustien tend à réintégrer une ligne moralisatrice qui en limite, au final, la portée. Certes, dans son travail de réécriture, le poète J. W. Auden, librettiste à cette occasion pour Stravinsky, a considérablement modernisé le tableau du libertinage, mais le canevas de l’opéra en garde dans sa structure une certaine pesanteur.</p>
<pre style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/krotchka/matreetmarguerite2.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="394" />Irina Shipovskaïa, <em>Ivan et le Maître</em>
</pre>
<p style="text-align:justify;">D’une qualité musicale assez discutable, (un style néo-classique aux antipodes du <em>Sacre du Printemps</em>), la valeur de <em>The Rake’s Progress</em> dépend principalement de l’ingéniosité de la mise en scène. L’action se déroule à Las Vegas dans les années 50, tout le reste en découle assez logiquement. Sexe, argent, débauche, détails crus et colorés, éblouissements de strass, Hollywood et téléviseurs : panoplie conforme aux fantasmes et aux jugements qui s’y reportent. Autant dire que la continuité du mythe est moins dans sa thématique que dans sa configuration. Schématiquement, le mythe faustien se développe selon deux axes : l’axe moral – <em>The Rake’s Progress</em> se situe de ce côté-là – et l’axe métaphysique, initié par Goethe à la fin du XVIIIème. Cette seconde orientation, plus féconde, se distingue de la première en ce qu’elle dégage la figure faustienne de la dichotomie bien/mal, pour questionner le rapport de l’homme à la connaissance. Dans la dynamique du romantisme allemand, le docteur devient le modèle de l’artiste entièrement voué à son idéal. Au commerce avec le diable correspond un désir de surpassement, destructeur, certes, mais admirable. C’est un héros aux aspirations titanesques brisé par les lois, un révolté dans le sillage de Prométhée. Cette lecture exaltée du mythe, Oswald Spengler la transpose à la culture occidentale. Dans la débâcle de la première guerre mondiale, le philosophe allemand écrit un livre fondamental,<em> Le Déclin de l’Occident. </em>Celui-ci<em> </em>exprime la rage du peuple vaincu, l’incite à se redresser fièrement, mais son originalité réside davantage dans sa pratique de l’historiosophie<em>.</em> Spengler produit  une lecture organique des civilisations, lesquelles, à l’instar des êtres vivants, connaissent une évolution apparentée aux cycles biologiques. Puissante et créatrice, la culture occidentale – faustienne – est dans une phase de déclin parce qu’elle a vendu son âme à la technique. Toute l’ambivalence de ce discours tient dans sa réception : l’« homme faustien », symbole de la force affirmative de la culture occidentale, est récupéré à bon compte par le nationalisme allemand, alors que simultanément, la fin de la civilisation et l’anticipation de sociétés  inhumaines dominées par la technique inspirent de sombres récits aux contre-utopistes (Huxley, Witkiewicz, Zamiatine, Orwell…).</p>
<pre style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll116/krotchka/matreetmarguerite3.jpg" alt="" width="267" height="400" />Charlie Stone, <em>Le chat conduit le tram</em>
</pre>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ainsi le mythe faustien glisse-t-il peu à peu vers des problématiques très concrètes, liées aux avancées de la science, aux défis éthiques et métaphysiques qu’elle ne cesse de poser. Autant de questions et de découvertes qui investissent et pénètrent la conscience moderne. Ces inquiétudes, au cinéma, en musique, en littérature, se formulent sur plusieurs niveaux de complexité. Le plus évident : un savant dévoré par l’ambition réalise, sous l’inspiration du diable, une découverte capable de provoquer l’apocalypse. Ces narrations se font bien sûr l’écho de la peur primitive face à la nouveauté, qu’elles présentent de façon spectaculaire et cathartique. Montrer le pire pour accepter le raisonnable, et entretenir l’idée que l’humanité dans son ensemble peut toujours rattraper l’ubris de l’individu isolé. En profondeur, le questionnement métaphysique reste prégnant. Recentré sur la personne même du scientifique, il dissèque le désir de connaissance. A mesure que le savoir augmente, ses frontières reculent et l’homme se sent, en proportion, infime, dérisoire ou, au contraire, extrêmement puissant. Le désir de savoir croît avec les possibilités de réaliser, avec les nouvelles techniques. Si le périple de Tom Rakewell met certainement en cause un élément crucial de la société industrielle, le consumérisme, l’opéra n’a cependant pas l’ampleur des fresques qui envisagent, à partir d’un individu en état de crise, le devenir de l’humanité. A cet égard, les deux œuvres les plus passionnantes au XXème siècle sont <em>Le Maître et Marguerite</em> (1940), de l’écrivain russe Boulgakov, et le <em>Docteur Faustus</em> (1947) de l’Allemand Thomas Mann. Ces deux romans ont d’ailleurs été abondamment repris au cinéma, au théâtre et à l’opéra. Il s’agit véritablement de polyphonies romanesques, au travers desquelles le mythe faustien passe comme un nerf, fil conducteur donnant sa cohérence à un brassage thématique d’une étendue hallucinante. Politique, esthétique, religieux, historique, nationaliste – pas un seul aspect du monde de l’après-guerre n’est omis, fictionnalisé, décomposé, analysé, ironisé… Il est significatif que ces deux romans phares de la modernité (ou plutôt, de la transition, puisqu’il est question de la mort d’un ordre ancien) s’articulent autour du personnage de Faust. C’est dire à quel point, parmi tous les mythes fondamentaux, il est celui qui, aujourd’hui, nous parle davantage de ce que nous sommes et de ce que nous devenons.</p>

Je suppose qu&#8217;il aurait été plus logique d&#8217;insérer ici quelques reproductions du libertin de Hogarth, mais ces tableaux &#8211; comment dire &#8211; ne m&#8217;inspirent pas du tout, alors suivant la technique consacrée d&#8217;un ami cher dite &#8220;technique du cheval de Troie&#8221;, je profite de <em>The Rake&#8217;s Progress</em> pour inciter à lire ou à relire l&#8217;inoubliable roman de Boulgakov.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This past weekend, I picked up <em>Another Faust</em>, a YA novel by siblings Daniel and Dina Nayeri. I’m inhaling it late at night.

<p>Devil’s Food Caramel Cake</p>
<p>Ingredients:</p>
<p>1 box Devil’s Food Cake (Duncan Hines is best)</p>
<p>1 cup buttermilk (or add 1 tbsp. lemon juice to 1 cup regular milk)</p>
<p>½ vegetable oil</p>
<p>3 eggs</p>
<p>7 to 10 oz. package of milk chocolate covered turtles, chopped</p>
<p>1 tbsp. cocoa (I like Hershey’s Dark)</p>
<p>½ cup caramel topping</p>
<p>Your favorite chocolate frosting (homemade or from a can)</p>
<p>More turtle candies for garnish</p>
<p> Grease two 9 in. round baking pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, buttermilk and oil. Add the eggs. Beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes. Stir in the turtle candies and the cocoa. </p>
<p>Pour batter into baking pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from pans. Spread caramel between layers. Frost cake with chocolate icing and sprinkle additional turtle candy bits over the top of the cake.</p>

<h4>[Instant Kill]</h4>
<p>
Konshuu no YAMABA: 236236+HS em IK Mode<br />
</p>
<h3>===[Por onde começar]===</h3>
<p>
<i>&#8220;Sempre de olho nos itens&#8221;</i></p>
<h4>[Lutando à média distância]</h4>
<p>
Abuse do alcance do f.S e 2HS para pokear o oponente à distância. Acertando eles, mesmo na defesa, siga com 236+P. Dependendo do item você deve agir de acordo (ver seção &#8220;Okizeme&#8221; adiante) e, se não puder soltar um item no momento, use a string {f.S, 2K} ou {2HS, 5P/2P} para diminuir seu recovery e continuar com pokes. Acertando o f.S ou 2HS em CH, siga com 41236+K para continuar o combo.</p>
<p>Se o oponente tentar aproximar, use o 2D e o 2S para impedí-lo. À curta distância use o j.2K, que deixa você na vantagem para começar a pressionar. Ou use o 2P, que diminui o hitbox do Faust, fugindo de ataques altos. Qualquer uma das opções à curta distância pode ser utilisada para tick throw com 214+HS ou seguir com 5K/2S, que pegam o adversário tentando fugir do 214+HS.</p>
<p>Para distanciar-se use pulo para trás com j.HS ou j.236+P, ou faça uma string terminada com 41236+K.</p>
<p>Como anti-aéreo há 4 opções: 6P, 2K, 5K e j.HS. O 6P é usado contra oponentes na vertical, o 2K contra pulos baixos, 5K contra air dashes e j.HS contra pulos altos.</p>
<h4>[Drill Cancel]</h4>
<p>
O Drill Cancel é quando você cancela o início do j.2K (Drill) com FD. No ar, faça j.1+K~P (ou S/HS) bem rápido, em um movimento fluido, fazendo o Faust parar no ar por um instante. Isso é útil para interromper o pulo, permitindo pulos muito baixos, u´teis para mix-ups!</p>
<p>Você também pode cancelar o Drill com SB, fazendo j.1+K~S+HS. A vantagem desse método é que o SB não pode ser segurado como o FD, enão ele sempre vai se recuperar em 2F, mas o comando é mais complexo.</p>
<p>Hint: faça o Drill Cancel bem no início do pulo e solte um j.K logo em seguida para um overhead rápido, útil em mix-ups e okizemes!</p>
<h3>===[Aplicações]===</h3>
<p>
<i>&#8220;Usando os itens efetivamente&#8221;</i></p>
<h4>[Okizeme no canto com j.236+P]</h4>
<p>
Depois de um 214+HS no canto, pule para trás com j.236+P. Faça de forma que somente a explosão acerte o oponente se levantando, enquanto Faust está seguro. Caia com j.P ou {land 214+HS}.</p>
<p>Acertando o j.P, a explosão acerta e você segue com {5K, JC, j.K, j.D, j.236+P} para repetir o okizeme. Acertando o 214+HS depois do oponente defender a explosão, repita o okizeme.</p>
<h4>[Aproveitando os itens]</h4>
<p>
<b>- Donuts:</b> ele cai perto, então pegue-o e recomece os pokes<br />
<b>- Chocolate:</b> ele cai longe, então use um 2HS para empurrar o oponente no item e você poder soltar outro<br />
<b>- Hammer:</b> impede o avanço pelo ar. Ele cai perto e, se o oponente defender, use um poke e solte outro item<br />
<b>- Bomb:</b> se o oponente ficar na defensiva, avance pelo ar ou espere para soltar outro item. Se o oponente tentar avançar, solte um hj.K (subindo) para empurrá-lo de volta.<br />
<b>- Poison:</b> se o oponente estiver longe, solte outro ite. Se estiver mais perto, use o 214+HS ou {Drill Cancel, j.K} para o mix-up e empurrá-lo no poison<br />
<b>- Mini Faust/Potemkin:</b> Espere até eles tocarem o chão. Depois avance com eles cobrindo o ar com seus anti-aéreo. Quando o oponente defender o Mini, faça um mix-up!<br />
<b>- Mini Robo-Ky:</b> aproveite para avançar pelo ar, e solte outro item se o oponente começar a recuar<br />
<b>- Tarai (bacia):</b> ela cai bem longe e você pode aplicar um mix-up se o oponente ficar na defensiva. Se o oponente estiver mais perto, use pokes para recuá-lo na bacia e você poder soltar outro item<br />
<b>- Coin:</b> quando ela acerta, o último hit da sequência do 41236+K dá ground bounce. Mas se o oponente estiver fora do alcance da Coin, use pokes para ganhar tempo até conseguir soltar outro item<br />
<b>- Meteor:</b> impeça o oponente de fugir pelo ar com j.HS e 5K. Pouco antes dos meteoros caírem, você pode usar o 214+HS, 214+D ou arriscar um TK j.236+D em cross-up para dificultar a defesa do oponente!</p>
<h3>===[Mais técnicas]===</h3>
<h4>[FB 214+D]</h4>
<p>
O 214+D vai parar o ar, evitando Throw e golpes baixos, além de acertar alto e ter +1 Frame Advantage quando defendido. Use-o para desviar de pokes e atacar ao mesmo tempo, quebrando pressões e contra-atacando mix-ups baixos!</p>
<h4>[Outros FBs]</h4>
<p>
O j.236+D é útil para ar-chão. Use-o pulando para frente, mirando na cabeça do oponente. Ele deve defender em pé e tomar cuidado com o cross-up.</p>
<p>Você também pode usar o j.236+D para contra-atacar o anti-aéreo do oponente. Engane o anti-aéreo com double jump ou air dash e caia logo em seguida com j.236+D antes do oponente se recuperar. Acertando o j.236+D, siga com {(Pogo) P-&#62;D-&#62;S-&#62;HS}.</p>
<p>Use {j.2K, j.236+D} para avançar no oponente também. Se o j.2K acertar, o j.236+D emenda em combo!</p>
<p>A partir do {41236+K-&#62;4}, é possível fazer o combo com {-&#62;236+D}. Mas além disso, você pode continuar com o segundo {-&#62;236+D}, que é anti-Burst!</p>
<p>O segundo {-&#62;236+D} pode ser defendido com SB para você poder continuar o combo. Apesar de parecer arriscado, a explosão acerta logo no primeiro frame que Faust se recupera, então se você não fizer o SB nesse momento, ele vai defender normalmente. Você pode usar Burst no lugar do SB também, mas o SB é mais recomendado.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In letzter Zeit nimmt mein Leben so einen rasanten Wandel, ich kann mich nur noch wundern!<br />
Nach über 20 Jahren hatte ich schwere Schlafstörungen, zwei bis drei Stunden Schlaf waren die Regel. Dann hatte ich wieder mal bei der Verteilung von Krankheiten vorlaut &#8220;Hier&#8221; geschrien, mußte zusätzlich ein Medikament mehr nehmen und siehe da, ich schlafe fast jede Nacht. Nun frage ich mich: Liegt es wirklich an dem Medikament, an H.&#8217;s &#8220;magischen&#8221; Stein oder hat T. vielleicht doch bei seinem Chef ein gutes Wort eingelegt. Ich weiß es nicht, es kann mir auch egal sein, hauptsache ich kann schlafen.<br />
Wie das Leben so spielt,es hat sich so vieles plötzlich geändert, ich habe nicht mehr nur Zeit.<br />
Ehemalige Klasenkameradinnen meldeten sich überraschend, es wird gemailt und telefoniert wie verrückt. wir müßen andauernd ins Krankenhaus meine Mutter besuchen, mein Hobby nimmt mich immer mehr in Anspruch. Ich sehe nicht nur Ärzte, Krankenhäuser und die Chaosbude, plötzlich nehme ich, wenn auch nur eingeschränkt, wieder am echten Leben teil.<br />
Ich bin begeistert, so kann es weiter gehen und noch besser werden!!!<br />
Gestern mittag kam mit &#8220;schwerem Gepäck&#8221; Muckelchen(unsere Enkelin), um bis heute mittag bei uns &#8220;Urlaub&#8221; zu machen.<br />
Sogar Reiseproviant hatte sie dabei, der Weg von einer Etage in die andere, ist natürlich in der Chaosbude sehr weit. Muckelchen könnte unterwegs verhungern. Wir hatten mit unserer Enkelin viel Spaß, aber es war auch sehr anstrengend.Aus Versehen hat sie mir,  beim rumalbern, einen schon wackelnden Zahn mit einer ungewollten Kopfnuss entfernt, mir mit der Faust auf&#8217;s Auge gehauen, um mich dann liebevoll zu trösten. Opossum war an allen Ecken und Enden gefordert, Oppa mußte dieses und jenes machen, denn Omma kann nicht mehr auf dem Fußboden sitzend Eisenbahn aufbauen, Essen machen,&#8230;&#8230;<br />
Opossum mußte heute eine Ruhephase einlegen, mir knacken die morschen Knochen, jeder Zentimeter meines Körpers schreit vor Schmerzen. Ich wundere mich immer wieder auf&#8217;s neue, was einem alles so weh tun kann.<br />
Fazit, wir freuen uns auf den nächsten Übernachtungsbesuch mit Muckelchen.</p>
<p>                                                                          &#8221;Ich liebe euch doch alle&#8221;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>All cultures that know them have found serpents fascinating. Indeed serpents are said to ‘‘fascinate’’ their prey, cast a spell on them with a look; human cultures seem to have fallen under their sway. Snakes can be extremely dangerous, being both venomous and ‘‘subtle’’ or sneaky; they strike without warning from grass or coverts; they can look beautiful in their glittering multi-colored skin; they creep on their bellies but can rear up; they shed their skin and seem rejuvenated; they sidle or meander; and in legend at least some can fly, some swallow their own tails, and some have a head at each end. The symbolic possibilities are rich and often ambiguous.</p>
<p> The most important serpent for western literature, of course, is the one in the garden of Eden, who persuaded Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and thus brought about the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden and the advent of death. He was ‘‘more subtil than any beast of the field’’ and simple Eve was no match for him (Gen. 3.1&#8211;7). St. Paul worries that ‘‘as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,’’ the minds of Christians might be ‘‘corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ’’ (2 Cor. 11.3). The serpent was thus connected with knowledge or wisdom, though a false or even fatal knowledge, and with human mortality. Behind these connections may lie the notion that serpents are themselves immortal because they shed their skins; their wisdom might be due to their great age or to their intimate relation with the earth (they even look wise). In the Sumerian/Babylonian Gilgamesh epic, a snake denies Gilgamesh the plant of immortality by snatching it, eating it, and then shedding its skin; a structuralist would call this a variant of the Eden story. As for wisdom, despite the serpent’s evil connotations, Christ calls on his followers to be ‘‘wise as serpents’’ (Matt. 10.16).</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Serpent" src="http://www.markmallett.com/blog/wp-images/MaryonSerpent3.JPG" alt="" width="251" height="176" /></p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p> In the Christian scheme the serpent of Eden became ‘‘the great dragon,’’ ‘‘that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world’’ (Rev. 12.9); ‘‘Oure firste foo, the serpent Sathanas,’’ in Chaucer’s phrase (Prioress’s Tale 1748); ‘‘The infernal Serpent’’ of Milton (PL 1.34). Goethe’s devil Mephistopheles invokes ‘‘my aunt, the famous snake’’ (Faust I 335). The ‘‘dreadful Dragon’’ that Spenser’s Redcrosse Knight vanquishes after a terrible battle (FQ 1.11.4&#8211;55) is the dragon of Revelation, and the Knight reenacts the victory of Michael and the angels (Rev. 12.7).</p>
<p>The older belief that serpents are wise, and not just subtle or cunning, was revived in the gnostic sects of snake-worshippers, known as the Naasenes (from Hebrew nahas, ‘‘serpent’’) and Ophites (from Greek ophis, ‘‘serpent’’). They seem to have believed that the serpent in the garden was trying to bring true wisdom and divinity to Adam and Eve, who were trapped in the fallen world by a wicked creator god; as the embodiment of gnosis or wisdom the serpent descends again as Christ. Something of this inversion of Christian symbols may be found in Shelley, who stages an elaborate allegorical contest between ‘‘An Eagle and a Serpent wreathed in flight’’: the Serpent, ‘‘the great Spirit of Good did creep among / The nations of mankind, and every tongue / Cursed and blasphemed him as he passed; for none / Knew good from evil’’ (Laon and Cythna 193, 373&#8211;76). Keats’s poem Lamia might be taken as another swerve from orthodoxy, for the lovely serpent-woman whom Lycius loves is defeated by a cold skeptical philosopher; the wisdom of this serpent is imagination and love.</p>
<p>Another biblical serpent is the one Moses made out of brass at God’s command, the sight of which cured the Israelites of snakebite (Num. 21.8&#8211;9). Much later this piece of magical homeopathy did not sit well with Hezekiah, who destroyed it (2 Kgs 18.4). Nonetheless John cites it as a type of Christ crucified, faith in whom cures us of all ills (John 3.14&#8211;15).</p>
<p>‘‘Serpent’’ comes from Latin serpens, serpent-, from a root meaning ‘‘crawl’’ or ‘‘creep.’’ A meandering river could be called ‘‘a serpent river’’ (Jonson, ‘‘To Robert Wroth’’ 18) without evoking Satan. The river in London’s Hyde Park is called The Serpentine, as several Greek rivers were called Ophis or Drakon. When Milton describes the early rivers of creation ‘‘With serpent error wandering’’ (PL 7.302), however, it is hard to rule out suggestions of the Fall. If to sin is to wander in error (Latin errare means ‘‘wander’’), a snake’s sidling, meandering motion seconds its evil associations.</p>
<p> In Homer snakes are often omens. The Greeks recall a ‘‘great sign’’: a snake (drakon) devours eight sparrow nestlings and their mother, and the seer interprets it to mean that nine years must pass before they sack Troy (Iliad 2.301&#8211;30); it is as if the snake symbolizes time, or eternity, which swallows the bird-years. Another omen is the appearance of the eagle with a serpent in its talons; the serpent stings the bird, who lets it drop; the Trojan seer takes the portent to mean they will not drive the Greeks away (12.200&#8211;29).</p>
<p>A similar image grips Orestes in Aeschylus’ Choephoroe. He sees himself and his sister as fledglings of eagle-Agamemnon, who was killed by a deadly viper (echidna), Clytemnestra (246&#8211;59). The imagery continues in the play: the viper stands for underhand domestic treachery, as it does in Sophocles’ Antigone, where Creon denounces Ismene as ‘‘a viper lurking in the house’’ (531). Close to this sense of betrayal is Aesop’s fable of ‘‘The Snake and the Rustic’’: the peasant rescues a frozen snake by placing it in his bosom, but when it thaws out it bites him. ‘‘You are nourishing a viper in your bosom’’ (Petronius, Satyricon 77) became proverbial: ‘‘O familier foo, . . . // Lyk to the naddre [adder] in bosom sly untrewe’’ (Chaucer, Merchant’s Tale 1784&#8211;86); ‘‘O villains, vipers, . . . // Snakes, in my heart-blood warmed, that sting my heart!’’ (Shakespeare, R2 3.2.129&#8211;31). Racine’s Oreste warns Pyrrhus against raising the son of Hector in his home ‘‘lest this serpent reared in your bosom / Punish you one day for having saved him’’ (Andromaque 1.2.167&#8211;68). Dryden’s Antony accuses Cleopatra and Dolabella of being ‘‘serpents / Whom I have in my kindly bosom warmed, / Till I am stung to death’’ (All for Love 4.1.464&#8211;66). This snake thus becomes the emblem of ingratitude. ‘‘How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is,’’ Lear cries, ‘‘To have a thankless child’’ (1.4.288&#8211;89).</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p> The snake in the bosom grew more internal and metaphorical until it could represent an entirely mental pain or poison. In Envy’s bosom, according to Spenser, ‘‘secretly there lay / An hatefull Snake’’ (FQ 1.4.31), while Malbecco, followed by jealousy and scorn, was ‘‘So shamefully forlorne of womankynd, / That, as a Snake, still lurked in his wounded mynd’’ (3.10.55). Cowper seems to echo Milton on rivers as he begins his ‘‘Progress of Error’’ by asking the Muse to sing how ‘‘The serpent error twines round human hearts’’ (4). ‘‘Every mortal,’’ says Chénier, ‘‘hides in his heart, even from his own eyes, / Ambition, the insidious serpent’’ (‘‘Le Jeu de Paume’’ st. 15).</p>
<p>The most common snake in the mind or heart since the Romantics, at least, is remorse or guilt. Coleridge addresses a dissolute man who gaily laughs during nightly orgies ‘‘while thy remembered Home / Gnaws like a viper at thy secret heart!’’ (‘‘Religious Musings’’ 285&#8211;86); later he dismisses his own ‘‘viper thoughts’’ of remorse in ‘‘Dejection’’ (94). Wordsworth writes of a man suffering from ‘‘the stings of viperous remorse’’ (1850 Prelude 9.576). Shelley imagines a bloated vice-ridden king trying to sleep, but ‘‘conscience, that undying serpent, calls / Her venomous brood to their nocturnal task’’ (Queen Mab 3.61&#8211;62). Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin is ‘‘gnawed by the snake of memory and repentance’’ (1.46); Pushkin himself, in the darkness, feels ‘‘the bite of all the burning serpents of remorse’’ (‘‘Remembrance’’).</p>
<p> Homer compares Paris’ sudden fear at the sight of Menelaus to that of a man who comes upon a snake and suddenly steps back ‘‘and the shivers come over his body, / and he draws back and away, cheeks seized with green pallor’’ (Iliad 3.33&#8211;35, trans. Lattimore; see Virgil, Aeneid 2.379&#8211;81). Half a line of Virgil’s, ‘‘a cold snake lurks in the grass’’ (Eclogues 3.93), has led to a proverbial phrase. Fortuna, according to Dante’s Virgil (who quotes himself), shifts the world’s goods about according to her judgment, ‘‘which is hidden like a snake in grass’’ (Inferno 7.84). Spenser’s Despair comes ‘‘creeping close, as Snake in hidden weedes’’ (1.9.28). This image merges with the biblical account of the subtle serpent in the garden, and with the traitor cherished in one’s home, to yield the symbolism of King Hamlet’s murder. The Ghost tells his son ‘‘ ‘Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard, / A serpent stung me’’ (1.5.35&#8211;36); young Hamlet has already felt that the world is ‘‘an unweeded garden / That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature / Possess it merely’’ (1.2.135&#8211;37); the serpent turns out to be the king’s brother.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Anfangs war beim babylonischen Turmbau alles in leidlicher Ordnung, ja die Ordnung war vielleicht zu groß, man dachte zu sehr an Wegweiser, Dolmetscher, Arbeiterunterkünfte und Verbindungswege, so als habe man Jahrhunderte freier Arbeitsmöglichkeit vor sich. Die damals herrschende Meinung ging sogar dahin, man könne gar nicht langsam genug bauen; man mußte diese Meinung gar nicht sehr übertreiben und konnte überhaupt davor zurückschrecken, die Fundamente zu legen. Man argumentierte nämlich so: Das Wesentliche des ganzen Unternehmens ist der Gedanke, einen bis in den Himmel reichenden Turm zu bauen. Neben diesem Gedanken ist alles andere nebensächlich. Der Gedanke, einmal in seiner Größe gefaßt, kann nicht mehr verschwinden; solange es Menschen gibt, wird auch der starke Wunsch da sein, den Turm zu Ende zu bauen. In dieser Hinsicht also muß man wegen der Zukunft keine Sorgen haben, im Gegenteil, das Wissen der Menschheit steigert sich, die Baukunst hat Fortschritte gemacht und wird weitere Fortschritte machen, eine Arbeit, zu der wir ein Jahr brauchen, wird in hundert Jahren vielleicht in einem halben Jahr geleistet werden und überdies besser, haltbarer. Warum also schon heute sich an die Grenze der Kräfte abmühn? Das hätte nur dann Sinn, wenn man hoffen könnte, den Turm in der Zeit einer Generation aufzubauen. Das aber war auf keine Weise zu erwarten. Eher ließ sich denken, daß die nächste Generation mit ihrem vervollkommneten Wissen die Arbeit der vorigen Generation schlecht finden und das Gebaute niederreißen werde, um von neuem anzufangen. Solche Gedanken lähmten die Kräfte und mehr als um den Turmbau kümmerte man sich um den Bau der Arbeiterstadt. Jede Landsmannschaft wollte das schönste Quartier haben, dadurch ergaben sich Streitigkeiten, die sich bis zu blutigen Kämpfen steigerten. Diese Kämpfehörten nicht mehr auf; den Führern waren sie ein neues Argument dafür, daß der Turm auch mangels der nötigen Konzentration sehr langsam oder lieber erst nach allgemeinem Friedensschluß gebaut werden sollte. Doch verbrachte man die Zeit nicht nur mit Kämpfen, in den Pausen verschönerte man die Stadt, wodurch man allerdings neuen Neid und neue Kämpfe hervorrief. So verging die Zeit der ersten Generation, aber keine der folgenden war anders, nur die Kunstfertigkeit steigerte sich immerfort und damit die Kampfsucht.<br />
Dazu kam, daß schon die zweite oder dritte Generation die Sinnlosigkeit des Himmelsturmbaues erkannte, doch war man schon viel zu sehr miteinander verbunden, um die Stadt zu verlassen. Alles was in dieser Stadt an Sagen und Liedern entstanden ist, ist erfüllt von der Sehnsucht nach einem prophezeiten Tag, an welchem die Stadt von einer Riesenfaust in fünf kurz aufeinander folgenden Schlägen zerschmettert werden wird. Deshalb hat auch die Stadt die Faust im Wappen.</p>
