current song: Dream Brother

bērnībā mana labākā draudzene bija Karīna. ar vecākiem viņa runāja krieviski, bet ar mani latviski. viņai bija māsīca vārdā Miļena, man likās, ka tas nozīmē Avene. Avene katru vasaru uzradās uz īsu brīdi. viņa ceļoja no tāltālas karaļvalsts. man viņa likās tik interesanta, viņai bija zēngalviņa, nekad nebiju redzējusi mazu meiteni ar zēngalviņu. un vienmēr rozā, dzeltena vai gaiši zila kleita. un viņa nerunāja. manā uztverē viņa bija kā neparasts eņģelis, kurš ik vasaru nolaižas no sava mākoņa.
pēc tam, kad jau bijām pieaugušas, satiku viņu laikam izlaidumā un viņa runāja, turklāt ikdienišķas lietas. biju tik vīlusies, viņa izrādījās vienkārši cilvēks.

"[..] The
allusion in question, made by Trithemius in a letter dated August 1507, is given
in the form of a warning against a man 'who is a fool and no philosopher; and
who has adopted the following title: Magister Georgius Sabellicus, Faustus
Junior, Fountain of Necromancers, astrologer, magus secundus, chiromancer,
aeromancer/ pyromancer, second in hydromancy.

The fame of both first and second Fausts spread throughout Germany and,
with time, they became confused with one another-or so it seems from the
nature of the incompatible stories, some representing their hero as almost a
semi-divine being, others showing him as a vulgar confidence trickster that seems to have had an almost universal appeal;
translated into English it inspired Marlowe, stumblingly read aloud by the light of
peasant fireside it's stories
soon became part of popular German folklore [..]"
