s share to x share to facebook share to pinterest etichette europa internet us politics september 6 2017 the sun sinks not for long will you thirst yet burn heart promise in the air from unfamiliar mouths it blows on me the great coolness comes my sun stood hot over me at noon my greetings for coming you sudden winds you cool spirits of the afternoon the air moves in a strange and pure way does not the night with a wry seducer s glance watch me from the corner of her eye stay strong my stout heart ask not why day of my life the sun is sinking the smooth flood already is gilded warm breathes the rock did happiness take its noonday sleep on it at noon in green lights the brown abyss s play still evokes happiness day of my life the eve is looming your eye already glows half broken the teardrops of our dew already surge your love s purple already runs quietly over white seas your last lingering bliss cheerfulness golden come you death s most secret sweetest anticipatory delight did i run down my path too swiftly only now when my foot has become weary your glance overtakes me your happiness overtakes me all around are only wave and play whatever was heavy sank into blue oblivion now my boat lies idle storm and voyage how it has forgotten that wish and hope drowned smooth lie soul and sea seventh loneliness never did i feel sweet certainty nearer to me never warmer the sun s look does not the ice of my peak still glow a light silver a fish my skiff now swims out although i strongly believe that nietzsche s works are a must read for anyone who wants to understand the world we live in and why it is the way it is i ve never been a huge fan of him yes he was deeply inspired by ralph waldo emerson one of my greatest intellectual heroes and held in very high esteem the writings of montaigne yet another of my most favorite thinkers writers ever but as far as i can tell he lacked what in my view made both montaigne and emerson what they were are and will be that is respectively the thoughtful elegant levity and the americanness yet reading nietzsche s writing has been one of the most intense and challenging intellectual experiences i ve ever gone through roughly speaking i enjoyed the books although sometimes if not often disagreeing with the author s views but didn t love the author himself quite the opposite of what happened to me when i first read montaigne s essays some of them the less exciting ones so to speak or some of emerson s less brilliant lectures and addresses after all you can admire someone without loving him her but the opposite is pretty unlikely if not impossible how can you love someone who doesn t dazzle you in some way to love is also to be positively marveled and surprised about what the other person does writes or says even if it is only now and again perhaps what i like least about him apart from his well known moral nihilism and his many other intellectual excesses is his contiguity with the so called decadent movement which first flourished in france in the late 19th century and then spread throughout europe and to the united states light years away from my views on literature and art a great example of nietzsche s decadent sensitivity is the above beautiful and touching poem by the way die sonne sinkt the sun sinks is proof in case it was ever needed that you don t have to agree with a certain weltanschauung to thoroughly enjoy one of its most powerful poetic expressions analogously but in a different context disapproving someone s behavior should never prevent us from treating them with the utmost respect if not love as in the case of dante when he tells us about paolo and francesca s tragic love story with deeply moving and amazing verses inferno canto v or when he describes farinata degli uberti as rising out of his burning tomb from the waist up and seeming to have great contempt for hell inferno canto x this posture suggests that spiritually he towers above all of hell and creates an image of infinite strength and grandeur the just punishment of sins doesn t include the denial of compassion and of the humanity of sinners or at least of some of them in all its aspects and contradictions paolo and francesca da rimini by dante gabriel rossetti 1862 cecil higgins art gallery bedford this poem from the dithyrambs of dionysus dionysos dithyramben a collection of nine poems written in the fall of 1888 by the german philosopher under the nom de plume of dionysos reflects very much the views of nietzsche on life death and everything in between including the ultimate meaning of happiness whether or not one disagrees with him there s no doubt that the poem is proof that he was a true philosopher in the ciceronian sense of the term because it was the great roman orator who once said that to study philosophy is nothing but to prepare oneself to die tusculanae disputationes the reason of which as montaigne put it commenting on cicero s statement is because study and contemplation do in some sort withdraw from us our soul and employ it separately from the body which is a kind of apprenticeship and a resemblance of death or else because all the wisdom and reasoning in the world do in the end conclude in this point to teach us not to fear to die and to say the truth either our reason mocks us or it ought to have no other aim but our contentment only nor to endeavor anything but in sum to make us live well and as the holy scripture says at our ease all the opinions of the world agree in this that pleasure is our end though we make use of divers means to attain it they would otherwise be rejected at the first motion for who would give ear to him that should propose affliction and misery for his end essays book i chapter xix

literature philosophy august 1 2017 trump in the woody allen era i think it s pretty hard to argue that somebody who almost three quarters of the country thinks is unqualified to be president and has a negative opinion about is tapping into the zeitgeist of the country or is speaking for a broad base of the country but we ll find out obama said in a late june 2016 interview with npr s steve inskeep well we found out a few months later on tuesday november 8 2016 after clinching the gop nomination with his unorthodox presidential campaign donald trump won over the hearts and minds of the american people and conquered the presidency obama s comments came in response to a question about a statement he had made during his 2008 campaign previous presidents such as john f kennedy and ronald reagan he said changed the trajectory of america and that s exactly what he himself wanted to do trump on the contrary according to the former president wasn t on pace to change the trajectory of america well fortunately for the country and unfortunately for the prophet what we are witnessing nowadays is exactly the opposite how and why things went the way they did and continue to go the way they do how could the donald achieve such a spectacular success paradoxically and paraphrasing what peggy noonan wrote in her column in the wall street journal some days ago by ignoring traditional norms and forms of american masculinity but let s follow her reasoning for a moment the president s primary problem as a leader is not that he is impetuous brash or naive it s not that he is inexperienced crude an outsider it is that he is weak and sniveling it is that he undermines himself almost daily by ignoring traditional norms and forms of american masculinity he s not strong and self controlled not cool and tough not low key and determined he s whiny weepy and self pitying he throws himself sobbing on the body politic he s a drama queen it was once said sarcastically of george h w bush that he reminded everyone of her first husband trump must remind people of their first wife actually his wife melania is tougher than he is with her stoicism and grace her self discipline and desire to show the world respect by presenting herself with dignity his public brutalizing of attorney general jeff sessions isn t strong cool and deadly it s limp lame and blubbery sessions has taken a very weak position on hillary clinton crimes he tweeted this week talk about projection he told the journal s michael c bender he is disappointed in mr sessions and doesn t feel any particular loyalty toward him he was a senator he looks at 40 000 people and he probably says what do i have to lose and he endorsed me so it s not like a great loyal thing about the endorsement actually mr sessions supported him early and put his personal credibility on the line in politico john j pitney jr of claremont mckenna college writes loyalty is about strength it is about sticking with a person a cause an idea or a country even when it is costly difficult or unpopular a strong man does that a weak one would unleash his resentments and derive sadistic pleasure from their unleashing the way american men used to like seeing themselves the template they most admired was the strong silent type celebrated in classic mid 20th century films gary cooper john wayne henry fonda in time the style shifted and we wound up with the nervous and chattery more than a decade ago the producer and writer david chase had his tony soprano mourn the disappearance of the old style what they didn t know is once they got gary cooper in touch with his feelings they wouldn t be able to shut him up the new style was more like that of woody allen his characters couldn t stop talking about their emotions their resentments and needs they were self justifying as they acted out their cowardice and anger but he was a comic it was funny he wasn t putting it out as a new template for maleness donald trump now is like an unfunny woody allen well perhaps or without perhaps that s a bit too harsh and one sided but peggy noonan was substantially right when she spoke about the shifting of style from the strong silent type to the nervous and chattery one perfectly impersonated by woody allen actually americans have gone through a monumental shift of style in the last decades something that has perhaps never happened before these days the way they like seeing themselves the template they most admire as peggy noonan put it is not the one celebrated in classic mid 20th century films anymore this is the woody allen era today it s no longer about gary cooper and john wayne nor is it even about ronald reagan let s be honest ronald reagan couldn t get elected today don t you think mrs peggy noonan on the contrary only donald trump could be able to defeat hillary clinton trump won because he was the best choice and this for the simple reason that he unlike any other republican or even democratic candidate including bernie sanders tapped into the zeitgeist of the country this means among other things that what peggy noonan considers weakness lack of self control trump s not being low key and determined as well as his being whiny weepy and self pitying etc is exactly what makes him the best choice in this very time and place in terms of communication style and ways of behaving but more importantly this also means that his political views and policies or trump s right wing populism as his detractors put it are on the same wavelength as the majority of the american people that s also why paradoxically we old fashioned men who grew up with john wayne s movies and the idea that men were supposed to keep their emotions in check and not make a big deal out of everything we conservatives of today and at the same time nostalgic of the reagan era and of a past that can never return should be happy about trump s alleged weakness and flaws they are at very core of his and our success posted by s r piccoli a 12 27 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest etichette us politics july 17 2017 trump in warsaw warsaw krasiński square july 6 2017 this is the speech mr trump should have given to introduce himself to the world at his inauguration that s how the wall street journal put it the day after the president of the united states gave his remarks to the people of poland as the white house described the speech itself in truth the remarks were directed at the people of the world and offered for the first time six months into donald trump s first term of office the core of what could become a governing philosophy that is in the wsj s own words a determined and affirmative defense of the western tradition and a far better form of nationalism than that of the inauguration address a nationalism rooted in values and beliefs such as the rule of law freedom of expression religious faith and freedom from oppressive government here are some key passages from the speech americans poles and the nations of europe value individual freedom and sovereignty we must work together to confront forces whether they come from inside or out from the south or the east that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture faith and tradition that make us who we are applause if left unchecked these forces will undermine our courage sap our spirit and weaken our will to defend ourselves and our societies but just as our adversaries and enemies of the past learned here in poland we know that these forces too are doomed to fail if we want them to fail and we do indeed want them to fail applause they are doomed not only because our alliance is strong our countries are resilient and our power is unmatched through all of that you have to say everything is true our adversaries however are doomed because we will never forget who we are and if we don t forget who are we just can t be beaten americans will never forget the nations of europe will never forget we are the fastest and the greatest community there is nothing like our community of nations the world has never known anything like our community of nations we write symphonies we pursue innovation we celebrate our ancient heroes embrace our timeless traditions and customs and always seek to explore and discover brand new frontiers we reward brilliance we strive for excellence and cherish inspiring works of art that honor god we treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression applause we empower women as pillars of our society and of our success we put faith and family not government and bureaucracy at the center of our lives and we debate everything we challenge everything we seek to know everything so that we can better know ourselves applause and above all we value the dignity of every human life protect the rights of every person...
