A journey

First post

This is my first post. I will try to update the blog fairly regularly. However, right now my mind has gone blank and I can't seem to find any thing to write about. I just finished reading Tales of Hoffmann (in translation, unfortunately) and some of the stories are excellent examples of the element of the bizarre in German Romanticism. E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) is now one of my favourite writers and Der Sandmann is my favourite story. To end this post here is a quote:  

Les sots parlent beaucoup du passé, les sages du présent et les fous de l'avenir. 
-Marquise du Deffand, 1697-1780
