Re: [meteorite-list] Re-2: January Comet?
Here I've got something which could be a good mantra for all of us who will be lucky enough to see our January comet this evening. Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843), a more than legitimate resident of Parnassus, wrote - as I don't have an official English translation here, please excuse my private try - the original is much better. Möcht' ich ein Komet seyn? Ich glaube. Denn sie haben die Schnelligkeit der Vögel; sie blühen an Feuer, und sind wie Kinder an Reinheit. Do I want to be a comet? I believe so. Because they own the velocity of birds; they're blossoming with fire and are like children in innocence. (quoted from the poem 'In lieblicher Bläue'/'In lovely blueness'; by the way: great American painter Sam Francis once dedicated a real masterwork to this poem - a good example for the r e a l globalization ...)

Es war der allgemeine Glaube in der Stadt und er muß eine Weile vorgeherrscht haben, da es sich mir, ohne daß ich mich selbst vor etwas Bestimmten fürchtete, so tief einprägte. ...Eines Nachts hieß es, jetzt sei der Komet da und jetzt werde er auf die Erde fallen.
