low effort post for today because i couldnt care less. see you in two months

[onyxmustdie]

imagine if you will:

the German soldier that Schofield strangled is in fact Paul Bäumer. Müller is guilt-stricken, blaming himself for Paul's death, for being too drunk to hear his desperate gasps for air. he never quite got a look at Schofield's face, but he swears he will track down his friend's killer and get his revenge :)

A horror that drove Nietzsche […] from the misery of the philosophies into his dance with knives with the ghosts from the future.

But the polytheism of Vedic religion sometimes functioned as a kind of serial monotheism that the Vedic scholar Friedrich Max Müller (1823-1900) named ‘henotheism’ or ��kathenotheism’, the worship of a number of gods, one at a time, regarding each as the supreme, or even the only, god while one is talking to him. Thus, one Rig Vedic poem will praise a god and chalk up to his account the credit for separating heaven and earth, propping them apart with a pillar, i but another Vedic poem will use the same words to praise another god:

To the unknown creator: ‘He by whom the awesome sky and the earth were made firm, by whom the dome of the sky was propped up …’ [10.121.5]

To Soma: ‘He who is the pillar of the sky …’ [9.74.2] To Tvastri: ‘He measured apart the two realms of space … and fixed them in place with undecaying pillars.’ [1.160.4]

To Varuna: ‘He stretched out the middle realm of space … placed the sun in the sky.’ [5.85.2]

To Vishnu: ‘Vishnu, who has measured apart the realms of the earth, who propped up the upper dwell-place.’ [1.154.1]

In addition, each god would have characteristics and deeds that were his alone: no one but Indra kills the demonic serpent of drought (Vritra), for instance.

I'm trying to clear my months-old tabs about R.H. Quaytman's 2015 shows of work relating to her research and discovery of a 19th century print of Martin Luther sandwiched underneath Paul Klee's 1920 monoprint, Angelus Novus.

Angelus Novus is most famous because of its connection to Walter Benjamin, who compared it to the Angel of History in the last essay he wrote before he died.

Since 2015, Klee scholar Annie Bourneuf has put together a renewed history of Angelus Novus that looks at its creation, references, and context in light of Quaytman's discovery.

images: Klee, Angelus Novus, 1920 from the Israel Museum Friedrich von Müller's 1838 etching after a 1520 portrait of Martin Luther by Lucas Cranach R.H. Quaytman's 2015 composite image of the two confirming Klee affixed his monoprint on top of this old etching.

What I absolutely love about the relationship that has developed between Per and Chris - is how well it fits into the former's profile.

Per's bromances are special - because he himself still belongs to the generation of players who claim to (mostly) strictly separate professional from private relationships. This is something you could also witness with Arne Friedrich, who used to say that he didn't "have many football related friendships" while he was still active. They definitely both shared that collected, almost cool demeanour towards the business, with a serious yet opinionated attitude, which may have been one of the reasons why they clicked so well back in 2010, where they supported each other through waves of external criticism.

The fun part here is, they both claimed that they would proooobably not stick around after their careers - and yet, that's exactly what they did. Because words and actions aren't always congruent - especially when you went through personal development cycles like they did. Aaaaaand because loyal people attract other loyal people and usually cannot get out of their skin when they feel appreciated and like they can actually make a change.

I could probably write a whole novel on how I perceive Per's relationship behaviour to team mates and colleagues, as there are countless examples, from Clemens Fritz at Werder to Laurent Koscielny at Arsenal (and some others which we won't mention by name here, because they unfortunately turned out to be bad apples in some way or another). I'll still try to keep this briefly and get to the point as quickly as I can:

Like I said, he is mostly serious and keeps a certain professional distance, he's opinionated, analytical, witty and can lash out if he needs to - but there is also the other side of him. The one he probably still cannot fully calculate very well - and that is his immense physicality. It's basically one of his primary love languages (aside from very blunt words of reassurance, something he, for example, shares with Thomas Müller).

Per Mertesacker is someone who values hard work, humility, discipline and loyalty - and if you fulfill these criterias, he will let you *feel* if he likes you. It's why he vibed so well with Benedikt Höwedes and the aforementioned Arne Friedrich; it's why Lukas Podolski had become his closest companion during their shared Arsenal days. The way he talked about them AND showed his physicality (constant hugs, no sense of personal space, hands on shoulders) showed nothing but respect, adoration and affection.

With Poldi, you also had the element of him being some kind of happy-go-lucky goofball that pulled Per out of his seriousness every now and then - he was a complementary force that allowed Per to let out his own goofy, silly side as well.

And this is also why Per and Chris are such a perfect match - not only do they share the analytical approach, are down to earth, loyal and witty... But they still have this complementary vibe going on. Just looking at them, you would think they are basically twins (especially in height) separated at birth. But despite the fact that they are still both incredibly opionated, they have a different approach. Per is letting out the full extent of "wise old man dadness" (including the dad jokes), he's the serious one who may even seem a bit cold and harsh due to it (which is, again, something I feel he and Arne have in common). And then there's Chris with that youthful loud mouth, the boy is from my generation and it shows that there is an age difference - but by being his refreshingly open self, he isn't just speaking his mind, giving a voice to what a lot of people think... No, he also has a glimpse of that goofy spirit that enables Per to go with or against it in a playful way. It's very different from Poldi's spirit - but not any less effective.

People have speculated there is "beef" going on between them, but really, judging by the amount of physical closeness, hugs, arms around shoulders, singing the anthem, eating ice cream, playing sport, having playful banter... You can tell that Per "loves" Chris back - who has no issues saying that out loud. Honestly, Chris has that interesting history of being ridiculously vocal when it comes to reassuring others (Leon Goretzka and various Gladbach players come to mind), so it's not surprising that his loving attitude attracted Per as well. You can simply tell that he's impressed by him - and Chris giving him starstruck eyes on a regular basis probably contributed to it as well.

Long story short; I love them.

Jacob is the grandson of Abraham and introduced in the Bible story of Jacob and Esau. After 7 years of service, Jacob’s uncle Laban tricked him into marrying his eldest daughter Leah. Laban then made Jacob work a further 7 years before he could marry his youngest daughter Rachel, who had been Jacob’s first choice of his bride (Genesis 29:18-30).

" Goethe era convinto che i tedeschi potessero meglio adempiere la loro reale missione storica senza creare uno stato-nazione. Egli volentieri accettava per essi un futuro simile a quello degli ebrei: sopravvivere come popolo, preservare il proprio carattere e compiere grandi cose senza una patria comune. Al pari degli ebrei, i tedeschi sembravano a Goethe valenti come individui, ma piuttosto miserabili come popolo. Nelle sue conversazioni, anche a distanza di anni, a più riprese egli ritornò su questa analogia. « La nazione tedesca è nulla », dichiarò all'amico Friedrich von Müller il 14 dicembre 1808, « ma il singolo tedesco è qualcosa, eppure essi immaginano che sia vero il contrario. I tedeschi dovrebbero essere dispersi in tutto il mondo, come gli ebrei, per sviluppare pienamente tutto il buono che c'è in essi a vantaggio della umanità ». "
