Can only agree with our friend Adalbarr.
_Prognosen_ is one of the most fascinating
books by EJ, containing essays and interviews.
Personally I am the proud ownner of # 891.
The first edition was 1,200 copies.

As the book deals with my main interest in
EJ, the prognostical work I cannot resist
providing a few lines as an example:

"Die Goetter erschaffen aus dem Zeitlosen;
die Titanen wirken und erfinder in der Zeit.
Sie sind der Technok eher als den Kuensten
verwandt. Daher raet Hoelderlin zu traeumen
und sich bei Dionysos zu trösten, waehrend
die 'Eisernen' herrschen - aber er weiss,
dass die Goetter zurueckkehren." (pp. 14-15).

Am searching for the origin of the Hoelderlin
reference. So far with little luck.

Best wishes

Bertil Haggman
