Pushkin - Queen of Spades |

From Germany, the centre of contemplation, Heidegger, as the dramaturge of Being which is supposed to occur anew, articulates the postulate of escaping the posthistorical
dullness
in order, as if at the last moment, to admit history once again; "history," let it be understood, is according to this logic not made, but rather medially suffered.

I want you to type out my sermon 9
Not much that was of interest had happened m the town Ye Olde Tea
Shoppe was enlarging its premises, to the further disfigurement of the High
Street Mrs Pither’s rheumatism was better (thanks to the angelica tea, no
doubt), but Mr Pither had ‘been under the doctor 9 and they were afraid he had
stone in the bladder Mr Blifil- Gordon was now m Parliament, a docile
deadhead on the back benches of the Conservative Party Old Mr Tombs had
died just after Christmas, and Miss Foote had taken over seven of his cats and
made heroic efforts to find homes for the others Eva Twiss, the niece of Mr
Twiss the ironmonger, had had an illegitimate baby, which had died
Proggett
had dug the kitchen garden and sowed a few seeds, and the broad beans and the
first peas were just showing The shop-debts had begun to mount up again
after the creditors’ meeting, and there was six pounds owing to Cargill Victor
Stone had had a controversy with Professor Coulton m the Church Times,
about the Holy Inquisition, and utterly routed him Ellen’s eczema had been
very bad all the winter Walph Blifil-Gordon had had two poems accepted by
the London Mercury
Dorothy went into the conservatory She had got a big job on
hand-costumes for a pageant that the schoolchildren were gomg to have on St
George’s Day, in aid of the organ fund Not a penny had been paid towards the
organ during the past eight months, and it was perhaps as well that the Rector
always threw the organ-people’s bills away unopened, for their tone was
growing more and more sulphurous Dorothy had racked her brams for a way
of raising some money, and finally decided on a historical pageant, beginning
with Julius Caesar and ending with the Duke of Wellington They might raise
two pounds by a pageant, she thought- with luck and a fine day, they might
even raise three pounds*
She looked round the conservatory She had hardly been in here since
coming home, and evidently nothing had been touched during her absence
Her things were lying just as she had left them, but the dust was thick on
everything.

Equal justice, however, towards all, might perhaps have
restored
confidence
between the head of the Empire and its members--
between the Protestants and the Roman Catholics--between the Reformed
and the Lutheran party; and the Swedes, abandoned by all their allies,
would in all probability have been driven from Germany with disgrace.

The
speculative restriction of pure reason and its practical extension
bring it into that relation of equality in which reason in general can
be employed suitably to its end, and this example proves better than
any other that the path to wisdom, if it is to be made sure and not to
be impassable or misleading, must with us men
inevitably
pass
through science; but it is not till this is complete that we can be
convinced that it leads to this goal.
