[Juenger-list] The Titan's Goblet

[mvk575b@tninet.se (Bertil Haggman)]

Every time I look at a reproduction of Thomas Cole's=20
painting The Titan's Goblet of 1833 (Metropolitan Museum
of Art, New York) I come to think of Ernst Juenger and the
Titans.

Association also drifts to the ON tree of life, Yggdrasil.
Cole might have seen a picture in The Edda Edition
by Icelander Finnur Magnusson in 1825 showing a goblet
on an ocean surrounded by mountains and fields.

But also Lake Albano with Castel Gandolfo might have
inspired Cole. Anyway, very Juengeresque.

With best wishes
