- Abstract
- en_US At last six years later I have had a chance to enjoy this lovely little -- and apparently quite famous -- parable. A man finds a camel chasing him. He arrives at a well and climbs a tree. Soon he looks down into the well and sees a dragon with mouth open waiting for him to fall. In the meantime, two mice, one white and one black, gnaw away on his tree. At some point their efforts will doom him. In the midst of all this threat, the man sees some berries and enjoys them. Rückert lays out the parable. We are all the man. The dragon is death. The camel is life's Angst und Not. The mice are day and night. The point: enjoy berries while you can! Du bist's, der zwischen Tod und Leben/am gruenen Strauch der Welt musst schweben. One page has a pleasant little three-tone illustration of the man hanging onto the bush for dear life!
