A GOLDEN AGE THAT TURNED TO LEAD

摘要

"Wenn ich Kultw hoere... entsichere ich meinen Browning' is usually slightly mistranslated as: 'When I hear the word "Culture", I reach for my gun'. Playwright Harms Johst's famous line is usually attributed to Goering or one of the other Nazi brutes. Robert Hewison feels much the same about culture, but reaches, instead, for his pen. I mean keypad. Hewison and I are old friends. Let's hope we remain so by the time we reach the bottom of the page.
