Sloterdijk - Rage and Time |
|
Nor did he work this
cure any other way than by the
foolishness
of the cross and a company of
fat apostles, not much better, to whom also he carefully recommended
folly but gave them a caution against wisdom and drew them together by
the example of little children, lilies, mustard-seed, and sparrows,
things senseless and inconsiderable, living only by the dictates of
nature and without either craft or care.

a little better: the theatre-going public like the obvious, it is true,
but they do not like the tedious; and
burlesque
and farcical comedy, the
two most popular forms, are distinct forms of art.

ELDRED As you know
The first hours of last night were rough with storm:
I had been out in search of a stray heifer;
Returning late, I heard a moaning sound;
Then,
thinking
that my fancy had deceived me,
I hurried on, when straight a second moan,
A human voice distinct, struck on my ear.

had grafted upon our thought, to the
outlived
stage of heathen thinkers.
