Can only agree with T.F. on one
point. _Die Schere_ is of great
importance in the writing of E.J.
Could we just start as soon as possible
on _Die Schere_. Please let us know
your thought on practical matters.

Meanwhile my first contribution.

_Die Schere_ is no doubt by E.J. himself
regarded as extremely important. In his
speech in Spain in 1995 Juenger pointed out
the interest in Spain in his later works
and mentioned 'Schere': In the mediterranean
countries the later works had drawn attention
"die Schere zum Beispiel erschien ueberall bald
nach der deutschen Ausgabe."

Also p. 94 in _Siebzig verweht V_ (1997):

...und meiner Prognos kommender Dinge in der
"Schere" fuege ich nichts mehr hinzu."

Reading and analysing _Die Schere_ is a must
to reach the center of EJ's prognosticism.

Looking forward to a rich and meaningful
exchange on _Die Schere_.
