About meSACHS

Mein Freund! Das grad' ist Dichters Werk,
dass er sein Träumen deut' und merk'.
Glaubt mir, des Menschen wahrster Wahn
wird ihm im Traume aufgetan:
all' Dichtkunst und Poeterei
ist nichts als Wahrtraumdeuterei.
Was gilt's, es gab der Traum euch ein,
wie heut' ihr wolltet Meister sein?

Or (roughly)

SACHS

My friend, it is precisely the poet's task
to interpret and record his dreamings.
Believe me, man's truest madness
is disclosed to him in dreams:
all poetry and versification
is nothing but true dream interpretation.
What are the odds that your dream told you
how you might become a Master today?

Goodness - you have yourself an interesting reading list for Xmas! I have most of these although the first sounds like an interesting secondary text. Let me know. Are you aware that 'Identity and Difference is a text by Heidegger?

Hey This is Aaron. I just sent you a friend request I haven't upgraded yet but I will soon. I just sent you this so you could look at that Philosophical Hermeneutics book of mine.
You're quite right. I was also rather intrigued that you list Joe Sachs and Leo Strauss as favorite authors. You should have gone to St. John's College.
I don't know if I sent this. My email address is dpol@btopenworld.com
I will need your address, of course.
All the best
David
dpol@btopenworld.com. Thanks. Is that Wagner quoted on your profile?
Thanks so much for your message. Its always nice when someone wants to read your work.But what a cheek. It is currently for sale over here at £9. Even at the current rate of exchange that is only $18. Send me £10 and I will let you have a copy post-haste postage and packing included. I think you will like it.
All the best David
You sound like my kind of reader. Enjoyed the review of Critchley who was a contemporary of mine at Essex.
You're signature, it's me "Batman" if you didn't already know.
