Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Confessio Medici A poor writer is always tempted by the titles of old books. It is hard on him, that he may not write again ´The Anatomy of Melancholy´ or ´Pride and Prejudice´ or ´A Midsummer Night´s Dream.´ But I, not daring to steal from one of my betters, have stolen from two; from Sir Thomas Browne and from Gower. Consider what temptation is exposed on the top of Gower´s monument. There he lies, as near as he can get to Shakspeare´s brother: and his effigy has for a pillow his three books, whose titles, ´Vox Clamantis,´ ´Speculum Meditantis, ´Confessio Amantis´ make me say to myself, as Blücher said of London, Was für Plunder. If only I might have them, which would be no loss to Gower, I could write a most noble trilogy. ´Vox Clamantis´ would be easy work: it would write itself, in a fortnight, in a red-hot rage, all drums and trumpets, thunder and lightning.
