🎄 Natale a Tribschen [1870]

Le vacanze di Natale 1870 erano trascorse, come quelle dell’anno precedente dal 24 dicembre al 2 gennaio, a Tribschen, ospite di Richard e Cosima Wagner. La mattina del 25 Wagner ha fatto eseguire una sua composizione musicale, l’Idillio di Tribschen in seguito rinominato Idillio di Sigfrido, per il compleanno di Cosima. Nietzsche regala a Wagner Il cavaliere, la morte e il diavolo, un’incisione di Albrecht Dürer, e a Cosima una nuova stesura de La visione dionisiaca del mondo. Riceve in dono da lui un’edizione completa dei Saggi di Montaigne e il primo esemplare di un adattamento per pianoforte del primo atto del Sigfrido, da lei Le passeggiate di Roma di Stendhal.

e anche:

Non è dato sapere se  [Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)] avesse già letto i Saggi prima del Natale del 1870, quando Cosima Wagner gli dona un esemplare. In Ecce homo dichiara di ritornare con assiduità a pochi «vecchi francesi» e in particolare al «libero pensiero» di Montaigne che è sempre stato il suo ristoro. In Schopenhauer educatore non manca di sottolineare quanto la lettura dei Saggi gli abbia aumentato il piacere di vivere e procurato una salda intesa con il loro autore su dove andare a cercare la vera patria di una nuova umanità.

All this reminds me of these ancient notions: that a man is forced to do wrong in detail if he wants to do right in gross, and injustice in little things if he wants to achieve justice in great ones.

Jean Grandville (1803–1847) - La Peur (Fear)

“La peur ! qui représente tantost les bisaïeuls sortis du tombeau enveloppez de leur suaire, tantost des loups-garous, des lutins et des chimères… (Montaigne)” “Fear! which conjures up visions of either relatives risen from the grave, wrapped in their shroud, or werewolves, spirits, and monsters… (Montaigne)”

from Émile Daurand Forgues' 'Petites misères de la vie humaine', 1870

The soul that has no fixed goal loses itself; for as they say, to be everywhere is to be nowhere.
