WTF, BIBLE?! 1
I am starting a new series within the blog. It is entilted wtf bible and is quite self-explanatory. Reading the Old Testament at the moment. It's a pretty awesome book.
" Thus it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain and annihilated the cities where Lot dwelt, God was mindful of Abraham and removed Lot from the midst of the upheaval.
Lot went up from Zoar and settled in the hill country with his two daughters, for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar; and he and his two daughters lived in a cave. And the older one said to the younger, 'Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to consort with us in the way of all the world. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him, that we may maintain life through our father.' That night they made their father drink wine, and the older one went in and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she rose. The next day the older one said to the younger, 'See, I lay with Father last night; let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go and lie with him, that we may maintain life through our father.' That night also they made their father drink wine, and the younger one went and lay with him; he did not know when she lay down or when she rose.
Thus the two daughters of Lot came to be with child by their father. The older one bore a son and named him Moab, he is the father of the Moabites of today. And the younger also bore a son, and she called him Ben-ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today". Genesis 19.29
This is the last mention of Lot... oof, bad luck, man.

Deer and Deerhound in Mountain Torrent.
"Here an exhausted stag plunges towards a waterfall leading out of a mountain loch pursued by two hounds, one of whom still clings to its ear, while the other is all but submerged in the water. The upturned head and fainting eye of the stag are as pathetic as any Christian martyr, and we can only pity the death of such a sublime creature. Whether death is to come at the hands of the waterfall or the bullet remains unclear. William Scrope, a friend and fellow sportsman of the artist, describes a similar scene in his well-known book, The Art of Deer Stalking. A stag had been turned at bay by the edge of a waterfall:
Just at the edge of the precipice, and as it seemed on the very brink of eternity, the dogs were baying him furiously; one rush of the stag would have sent them down into the chasm, and in their fury they seemed wholly unconscious of their danger. All drew in their breath, and shuddered at the fatal chance that seemed momentarily to take place. "

"[...] It might seem that these modulations of sound carry some connection with the nature of the things they represent, and are not merely arbitrary; because the natural cries of all animals, even of those with whom we have not been acquainted, never fail to make themselves sufficiently understood; this cannot be said of language. The modifications of sound, which may be productive of the sublime, are almost infinite. Those I have mentioned, are only a few instances to shew, on what principle they are built." -- Edmund Burke, A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas on the Sublime and Beautiful(1759), Section XX, The Cries of Animals
SHOFAR?
--BGK.
shofar.
{Rosh Hashana-- the Jewish new year}
"For the shofar of Rosh Hashana, whose purpose it is to rouse the purely Divine in man, no artificially constructed piece of work may be sounded. It must be an instrument in its natural form[naturally hollow], with life given to it by the breath of man, speaking to the spirit of man. For you cannot attain to God by artificial means or by artifice. And no sound which charms the senses, but which does not appeal to man's better self, can raise you to God-- indeed, you might surrender yourself again to your low, base way of living. The pure, unaffected sound of the natural shofar should stir you heart and mind and attune them to the significance and call of its tones.
All naturally hollow horns of clean animals are valid for the shofar of Rosh Hashana except for the horn of the bull, which is linked with the memory, sad for our nation, of the sin of the Golden Calf and which in fact is not called the shofar. One should take, if possible, the bent horn of a ram-- bent, in conformity with the contrite mood of the day evoked by the teruah; of a ram, because it preserves the noble memory of Abraham's sacrifice, the prototype in history of subservience of the self to God." -- Mazhor for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Rabbinical Assembly, New York

TO LIBERTINES
Voluptuaries of all ages, of every sex, it is to you only that I offer this work; nourish yourselves upon
its principles: they favor your passions, and these passions, whereof coldly insipid moralists put you in
fear, are naught but the means Nature employs to bring man to the ends she prescribes to him;
hearken only to these delicious Promptings, for no voice save that of the passions can conduct you
to happiness.
Lewd women, let the voluptuous Saint-Ange be your model; after her example, be heedless of all
that contradicts pleasure's divine laws, by which all her life she was enchained.
You young maidens, too long constrained by a fanciful Virtue's absurd and dangerous bonds and by
those of a disgusting religion, imitate the fiery Eugénie; be as quick as she to destroy, to spurn all
those ridiculous precepts inculcated in you by imbecile parents.
And you, amiable debauchees, you who since youth have known no limits but those of your desires
and who have been governed by your caprices alone, study the cynical Dolmancé, proceed like him
and go as far as he if you too would travel the length of those flowered ways your lechery prepares
for you; in Dolmancé's academy be at last convinced it is only by exploring and enlarging the sphere
of his tastes and whims, it is only by sacrificing everything to the senses' pleasure that this individual,
who never asked to be cast into this universe of woe, that this poor creature who goes under the
name of Man, may be able to sow a smattering of roses atop the thorny path of life.
