'Lass dich durch nichts verblüffen' 
das ist der einzige Grundsatz, 
der die Menschen beglückt und ihnen das Glück für immer sichert.
Aus Epistel 6 ,

Vielleicht klappt's ja zum 80sten.










VOLTAIRE






Da es sehr förderlich für die Gesundheit ist, habe ich beschlossen glücklich zu sein

VOLTAIRE













Das Glück ist keine leichte Sache: es ist sehr schwer, es in uns, und unmöglich, es anderswo zu finden.  

CHAMFORT









Das Wenigste gerade, das Leiseste, Leichteste, einer Eidechse Rascheln, ein Hauch, ein Husch, ein Augen-Blick — Wenig macht die Art des besten Glücks.

NIETZSCHE




Das Glück gehört denen, die sich selber genügen. Alle äußeren Quellen desselben sind unsicher und vergänglich.

SCHOPENHAUER




Einzeln nur, zerstreuet zeigen sich
Des Glückes Fäden, die Gelegenheiten.

SCHILLER







Glück
Solang du nach dem Glücke jagst,
Bist du nicht reif zum Glücklichsein,
Und wäre alles Liebste dein.

Solang du um Verlornes klagst
Und Ziele hast und rastlos bist,
Weißt du noch nicht, was Friede ist.

Erst wenn du jedem Wunsch entsagst,
Nicht Ziel mehr noch Begehren kennst,
Das Glück nicht mehr mit Namen nennst,


Dann reicht dir des Geschehens Flut
Nicht mehr ans Herz, und deine Seele ruht.

IRAN SUPERMARKET

Der junge Frankfurter Zöllner, der durch die Alarmierung von Bundeskriminalamt und Zollkriminalamt im Jahr 2002 den ersten großen Deal des Iran auffliegen ließ, hat jedenfalls schon damals die Zurückhaltung mancher Behördenchefs gegenüber den iranischen Schmuggelaktivitäten zu spüren bekommen. Statt Lob zu erhalten wurde er abgestraft: Weil er die Alarmierung von BKA und ZKA "an seinen Vorgesetzten vorbei" unternommen habe, wurde er aus dem Staatsdienst entlassen. Erst 2011 setzte er seine Wiedereinstellung vor einem obersten Bundesgericht durch.

SHOES going to foolish length for Fashion

Why Were Medieval Europeans So Obsessed With Long, Pointy Shoes?

Going to foolish lengths for fashion.

IN 1463, LONDON OUTLAWED THE shoes of its fanciest men. These dapper lords had grown ridiculous in their dapperness, and had taken to ambling streets shod in long, carrot-shaped shoes that tapered to impish tips, some as long as five inches beyond the toe. These shoes were called “crakows” or “poulaines” (a term also used to refer to the tips alone), and the court of King Edward IV eventually found them offensive enough to pass a sumptuary law prohibiting shoe tips that extended over two inches beyond the toe.
Perhaps one of the silliest and most fascinating trends in medieval fashion, these shoes probably first emerged around 1340 in Krakow, Poland—both names refer to this origin—according to Rebecca Shawcross, the author of Shoes: An Illustrated History. Shawcross also serves as the shoe resources officer at Northampton Museum and Art Gallery in England, which claims to have the world’s largest collection of shoes (at 12,000 pairs, but alas, just one intact pair of poulaines).
Europe had flirted with long-toed footwear since the 1200s, but never to this length, or with this saturation. The lords and, to a lesser extent, ladies of 15th-century Europe wore these shoes almost exclusively for over a century. Every person who could afford shoes wore poulaines, though the longer tips were generally reserved for nobility who could afford to wander around in footwear seemingly designed for pratfalls.

For the glitterati of medieval Europe, poulaines were less a fad than a symbol. “If you were a man of status and you had enough wealth, you wanted to show that off,” Shawcross says. “And to do that, you had to take the toe to the extreme.” Shoes with absurdly long toes were expensive and would clearly impair the wearer from efficiently partaking in any kind of physical labor. So they were also an indicator of leisure and luxury, free of extraneous effort or the tyranny of practicality.
Poulaines—like babies or uncorseted bosoms—could not support themselves. In order to keep the tips erect, medieval shoemakers stuffed them with soft organic material, often moss, hair, or wool. “Without a stuffed toe, it gets quite floppy,” Shawcross says. “It doesn’t look like it would have been worn by someone of status at all.” The material also helped prevent the tip of the poulaine from curling when wet, according to Jackie Keily, senior curator at the Museum of London, which boasts one of the most impressive collections of poulaines. One shoe in particular, recovered from an archaeological excavation on the waterfront, boasts a modest tip but a delicate leaf pattern.

HERMANN HESSE Diesseits des 'Glasperlenspiels' MARBACHER MAGAZIN 98/2002 Heike Gfrereis ''...magische Zuflucht, in die ich, so oft ich geistig dazu bereit war, für Stunden eingehen konnte, und wohin kein Ton aus der aktuellen Welt drang.''

>> Wenn in zwei Menschengestalten zwei Urprinzipien, wie ewige
Gegenwelten einander verkörpert begegnen, dann ist ihr Schicksal unentrinnbar:
sie müssen einander anziehen, müssen voneinander bezaubert werden,
müssen einander erobern, einander erkennen, einander zum Höchsten steigern,
oder einander vernichten.
So geschieht es jedesmal, 
wenn Männliches und Weibliches, 
wenn Gewissen und Unschuld,
wenn Geist und Natur 
einander in reinen Verkörperungen kennenlernen
und in die Augen sehen.<<

Dieses unveröffentlichte Vorwort zu 
'Narziß und Goldmund'
deutet den Mythos von den in
zwei Hälften gespaltenen Kugelmenschen,
den Aristophanes in Platons 'Gastmahl' erzählt,
in einen literarisch fruchtbaren Mechanismus um.










''...magische Zuflucht, in die ich,
so oft ich geistig dazu bereit war, für
Stunden eingehen konnte, und wohin 
kein Ton aus der aktuellen Welt drang.''

Timothy Bobbin (John Collier 1708-1786), The Passions, Humourously Delineated: containing twenty-five plates, with his portrait, title plate and poetical descriptions (London: Orme, 1810). 
British satirist John Collier (1708-1786), using the pseudonym Tim Bobbin, “developed his trade as a painter … producing inn signs, painted panels, and grotesque caricatures which were widely distributed, reaching the American colonies via a Liverpool merchant. He promoted and distributed his own work, travelling all over northern England collecting and delivering orders and commissions for books and pictures and consuming the proceeds as he went.
“…In 1773 was published his Human Passions Delineated, an upmarket edition of his caricatures which acted as a catalogue, in which he described himself as the ‘Lancashire Hogarth’…The 1810 London edition of Human Passions systematically softened his caricatures… The Victorian antiquary W. E. Axon thought his pictures ‘execrable … gross and cruel’, while the Dictionary of National Biography found them ‘grotesque’ and ‘absolutely devoid of artistic merit’.”— DNB
Bond Street print publisher Edward Orme (1775-1848) resurrected Collier’s caricatures in 1810 and reissued the set on 27 leaves with the only title on a printed label pasted to the wrapper (not included with this set).
