Aus so krummem Holze, als woraus
der Mensch gemacht ist, kann nichts ganz
Gerades gezimmert werden.
F.W. Nietzsche
Flesh and blood is weak and frail,
Susceptible to nervous shock;
While the True Church can never fail
For it is based upon a rock.
T.S. Eliot
Excelsa quoque timebunt,
Et formidabunt in Via,
Florebit Amygdalus,
Inpinguabitur Lucusta,
Et dissipabitur Capparis,
Quoniam ibit Homo in
Domum Æternitatis suæ,
Et circumibunt in Platea
Plangentes.
Liber Ecclesiastes

Coheleth appellatur)
