Weh! Steck ich in dem Kerker noch?
Verfluchtes dumpfes Mauerloch,
Wo selbst das liebe Himmelslicht
Trüb durch gemalte Scheiben bricht!
Beschränkt mit diesem Bücherhauf,
Den Würme nagen, Staub bedeckt,
Den bis ans hohe Gewölb hinauf
Ein angeraucht Papier umsteckt;
Mit Instrumenten vollgepfropft,
Urväter-Hausrat drein gestopft--
Das ist deine Welt! Das heißt eine Welt!
Goethe's Faust
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making
many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness
of the flesh.
Periodically I update my blog, out of
which this site grew. Those with interest can
read about its history.
Several pages are dedicated to
my research. There's a
definite emphasis on Brevard Childs, whose
prolific and controversial career has been at the
heart of my PhD project. And I indicate a number of
electronic
tools and resources which prove helpful.
There are a also few photos of Adriel
and me in Europe. This way at least the relatives
will drop by from time to time.
Please have a look around. Feel free to contact me with
comments or suggestions.
