[Juenger-list] FW: waldgang (fwd)

[Richard Brem e-ensign@thing.net]

> can anyone clarify this?

Here's what I wrote to the list on 29 July 1998:

----------------------------------
Detail - for those interested: excerpts from Juenger's essay "Der Waldgang"
were translated into English in the mid-50s and published under the title
"The Retreat Into the Forest" in the review "Confluence" (edited by Henry
Kissinger) in June 1954, p. 127-142.
----------------------------------

In the original posting I also quoted in full length the lyrics of the song
"Stripped" by the British band Depeche Mode, which to me echo the leitmotif
of Juenger's "Waldgang". See for yourself:

----------------------------------
Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you crying
Just for me

DEPECHE MODE "Stripped"
