At his final public reading that November 11, [Karl Kraus] likened European power to a worm creeping away from the foot about to stomp it.

phil

I am so glad that you have found Karl Kraus, what a kindred spirit for a newspaper man.

matrullo

yes - borrowed from Kia - excellent company for the philanthopist as well!

phil

Indeed. I think I may have recommended it to Kia, actually.

KK has been often featured on yr blogs. He should be required reading for all patriots.

phil

Thank you, I agree. I once spent a month or two imitating his aphorisms, one by one, just to see how he did it. Never could come close to his effects, but it was a good exercise. A patriot, was he, of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Of the nation of letters?

matrullo

Kia asked me to relay her thanks for recommending Dicta and Contradicta. I'm not sure if Kraus could have a patriot of anything other than a world in which the notion of patriot no longer has any possible sense.
