Nov. 11: Søren Kierkegaard； The Cenotaph第一次世界大戰終戰紀念日


German and English translators of Kierkegaard's works齊克果接受史 (德文、英文)
Peter DRUCKER 在1929年讀的 Fear and Trembling 是德文譯本。
N. Frye (1957)說他的Either/Or 屬"小說"，可能是英文本或德文本(因為他的 Critical Path一書提到康德德文的【純理性批判】，可知他深諳德文。)

讀過一戰之歷史，英法德各國，死亡以5百萬人以上計算，或說英國菁英大傷，埋下衰落種子 (Peter Drucker) ，實在很難"狂歡購物"：香港的大學單位，深知此理.....但，也只能淡然處之。

【胡適日記】只是摘要，許多感人的故事沒記。
譬如說，1926年 11月11日，他借劍橋大學基督學院的院長辦公室寫講稿 (演講卻是在ART Schhol)。
當天是第一次世界大戰終戰紀念日，The Cenotaph。 胡適在辦公室看到白髮老油漆工，在梯子中間停下來，虔誠而莊嚴地禱告一分鐘，相當感動。
British Museum
On #RemembranceDay, here is a red poppy made by Mary Delany in 1776. The Museum will observe the 2-minute silence at 11.00.
The poppy is used as a symbol of remembrance as it grew prominently in Flanders, where many died during the First World War.

Sep. 24：Euripides, Horace Walpole, Pablo Neruda

Horatio Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford, also known as Horace Walpole, was an English art historian, man of letters, antiquarian and Whig politician. Wikipedia Born :  September 24, 1717,  London, United Kingdom Died :  March 2, 1797,  Berkeley Square, London, United Kingdom Movies :  Castle of Otranto Parents :  Robert Walpole ,  Catherine, Lady Walpole Quotes The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
