A Few Pictures from Bavaria

The church of the village of Wamberg, in the Alps above Garmisch-Partenkirchen.



Feeling Romantic in the mountains around Schloss Neuschwanstein.



View from the so-called Bärenhöhle outside Oberammergau.



On the choir loft of the beautiful church at Steinhausen.



Ducks in a stream in Oberammergau.



St. Florian on the firehouse in Unterammergau.



The island of Frauenchiemsee.

Don't Mess with Agamemnon

Μή σε, γέρον, κοίλῃσιν ἐγὼ παρὰ νήυσι κίχειω
ἢ νῦν δηθύνοντ' ἢ ὕστερον αὖτις ἰόντα,
μή νύ τοι οὐ χραίσμῃ σκῆπτρον καὶ στέμμα θεοῖο·
τὴν δ' ἐγὼ οὐ λύσω· πρίν μιν καὶ γῆρας ἔπεισεν
ἡμέτερῳ ἐνὶ οἴκῳ ἐν Ἄργεϊ, τηλόθι πάτρης,
ἱστὸν ἐποιχομένην καὶ ἐμὸν λέχος ἀντιόωσαν·
ἀλλ' ἴθι, μὴ μ' ἐρέθιζε, σαώτερος ὥς κε νέηαι.

Why am I reading this instead of studying economics?

THECEL

appensus es in statera, et inventus es minus habens.

The decline of this blog has only been an aspect of the more general decline of its author.

But the end of term, God willing, will bring a close to the current academic, legal and financial disaster, and the indolence of summer will drive me back to this poor corner of the internet.

Expect:

Fragmenta Litteraria

Second-rate Photography

Third-rate Doggerel

and the pleasure of watching a Foreign Devil arise from his ashes.
