7 thoughts on “Quote of the Day”
German text here.
The (posthumous) text is it seems well known to psychotherapists. Rilke´s frightening last poem, written while dying of cancer without painkillers by his own choice, should be as well known to all doctors giving terminal care.
Link to last poem seems to be broken….
….though a search for “Rilke” on the main page finds it quickly.
Just remove the close quote mark from the end of theURL.
Fixed. (Considers painful unmedicated suicide to make amends for shaming the blog..)
Late addition: the main difference in sense is the definite article in German, der Gott. This would (subject to correction from Katja) be pretty standard usage, though not universal: it´s ¨Gott mit uns¨ not ¨Der Gott mit uns.¨ Unlike German, English forces you to choose between a monotheistic and a polytheistic frame of reference; and by the optional capitalisation, to belief or unbelief. Even in an apparently monotheistic usage like ¨the God of Abraham¨, there´s an implied contrast with other real or imaginary gods.
So Rilke is not completely committed in the line to the existence of a monotheistic God, even if that is the natural reading. The ambiguity leaves open the possibility of a polytheistic god or an imagined one.
I have fixed James’ link.
One of the things that impresses me about Rilke is that many poets go for an “out of the blue” high-impact last line and it comes out as pretentious or affected. But he does it repeatedly and it works, this poem is an example, Bust of Apollo too.
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
