If your web browser has the MIT Curl plugin installed and you have an interest in maritime literature or Joseph Conrad, I have posted a page at aule-browser.com with an extract from the opening of Heart of Darkness and entitled it A Night on the River.
I have tried to keep my alterations to a minimum. Many readers may recall the opening of Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo - for me today it is the opening of HErmann Broch's Der Tod des Vergils.
A literary ship into harbor is the next best thing to a scene of seduction both invited and intended - although the Conrad may have more of the feel of tristus.
One passage is a link to the Hölderlin shuttle or launch of my last post.
