What’s noblesse? Watching the crowd with distance …
I saw this heron waiting in a distance to the pigeons in Amsterdam. I remembered that once Aesop (620–564 BC) started to write metaphorically his fables to avoid conflicts with the politicians. I had written: “The core of the theological business is the lie. No wonder that this spreads to the characters of their agents.” The editor rejected the publication in his newspaper from fear of his boss.
