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.
