*Totally and utterly I despise the entire Huxley clan. ... Aaaghhh! The best thing I found in it was a quote from Goethe:

We talk far too much. We should talk less and draw more. I personally should like to renounce speech altogether and, like organic Nature, communicate everything I have to say in sketches. That fig tree, this little snake, the cocoon on my window sill quietly awaiting its future – all these are momentous signatures. A person able to decipher their meaning properly would soon be able to dispense with the written or the spoken word altogether. The more I think of it, there is something futile, mediocre, even (I am tempted to say) foppish about speech. By contrast, how the gravity of Nature and he silence startle you, when you stand face to face with her, undistracted, before a barren ridge or in the desolation of ancient hills.*

*Eisbergfreistadt (...) is inspired by an actual incident in 1923, when a mammoth iceberg ran aground in the Baltic port of Lübeck, towering over the town and terrifying the populace. This event inspired gloomy cafe songs and penny dreadfuls, even a deck of playing cards. Many notgeld and inflationary currencies were issed for the Eisbergfreistadt. (...) Although the creation of the Eisbergfreistadt is an actual historical incident, it is not clear to what extent it actually existed.*

Die Verfilmung würde ich gerne von diesem Kanadier sehen. Bis dahin bleibt die exzessive Vorschau aufs Buch...
