Wanderer's Night Song
Wanderers Nachtlied
Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh',
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch.
Die Vöglein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.
Goethe
Wanderer's Nightsong
Over all peaks
Reigns calm,
In all treetops
Senseth thou
Barely a breath.
The birdies keep silent in the wood.
Simply wait, soon
Resteth thou, too.
translated by McSeanagall :)

Des gibt's net!
Today's the first anniversary of the day on which Ludwig Hirsch followed his black bird.
Watching the video and listening to him, as always brought tears to my eyes.
Tough guy.

Leaving
I am told peace-loving people somewhere far away are competing in rocket science. Surely there will soon be peace. And when the stones are swimming, the leaves will sink. The peace of the night. |

No need of followers
Attentive visitors might have noticed that Omnium's blogroll peu à peu has become shorter.
This is due to that I would not link (anymore) to bloggers
– whose blogs have not been available for more than one year;
– who would not link to other blogs (including Omnium).
Thanks for your attention.
The older I get the less time I do have to be diplomatic.
And – may I say so? ... ha! of course, I may say so: I do not care about 'followers'.
What stupid a word!
Millions followed Stalin, Hitler, Mao; millions got deceived by ... take the name of your choice ...
And I should ask for followers?
Whooaah. Too many idiots on this planet.
And I am one of them.
Still blogging.
The peace of the night.
