Nietzsche Typescript, written on his writing ball: A Poem. Copyright: The Goethe and Schiller Archive, Weimar, Germany
The poem in English translation:link
“THE WRITING BALL IS A THING LIKE ME: MADE OF IRON
YET EASILY TWISTED ON JOURNEYS.
PATIENCE AND TACT ARE REQUIRED IN ABUNDANCE
AS WELL AS FINE FINGERS TO USE US.”
(Friedrich Nietzsche, on February 16th 1882)
Amazing.

Hat tip to Burke from Bleak Theology for alerting me to its existence.
Of course this was Nietzsche’s typewriter. I mean, of course it was.

“I can’t figure out his hair. From the point of view of someone who is into art and form-making, I can’t figure out the structure of it: where it’s coming and where it’s going. And then I also wonder, what does he think this object on his head achieves? It’s just a great mystery.”

Two poster boys of modern classical music team up for a three-track EP. On ‘Stare’ Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm underpin their compositions with a surprising amount of electronic sequencing. Blissful ambient on side A and more sombre moods on side B provide perfect Sunday listening pleasures.
