"In Irving, we find the direction of American literature and its ambivalence about values and meaning. He was a localist creating a national myth, interested in the people and history around him. He was also a cosmopolitan looking across states, oceans, and time. Whether at home or abroad, Irving found something of importance."

Washington Irving, US Trailblazer

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. -Washington Irving, writer (3 Apr 1783-1859)

Gestern ausgelesen. Ich war abgetaucht in die Welt der Sagen rund um die Alhambra von , den Alcazar von und , aber auch in Berichte über das damalige Leben … was für eine Welt ging da durch die „Rückeroberung“ verloren, als man wieder in finstere katholische Zeiten versank… zum Glück blieb noch etwas erhalten. Erfüllen wir es mit Leben durch Erhaltung und Frieden untereinander (auf allen Seiten), um blühende Länder zu bewahren.
Man kann nicht mehr danken, dass er alles aus seiner Sicht aufschrieb, ein Denk-mal sei ihm aber auch hier gesetzt.

Eine Frage bleibt: Warum schafft es die Menschheit nicht, in Frieden zum Wohle der Erde und ihrer Bewohner miteinander zu leben?

Reading one new favorite, "Old Christmas", by Washington Irving and one old favorite, "A Christmas Carol", by Charles Dickens. Did you know Washington Irving wrote Christmas stories and that his Christmas stories inspired Charles Dickens? 🎄📚❤️
