<HTML>Dear Ladies,

maybe you will kindly allow me please to &#8222;butt&#8220; in a thought or two which might be helfpful to bridge your &#8220;differences&#8221; of perspective as to who is the greater &#8220;poet&#8221; or not in order to prevent another &#8220;Zickenkrieg&#8221; from starting and/or escalating.

WEBSTER defines a.o. &#8220;poetry&#8221; as the art of rhytmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts or a Poetry is a text in form of a tuxedo with a read bow tie or as a saying goes over here, he, who can &#8220;compose&#8221; out of a ten line headline The Buddenbrocks is indeed a poet.

Now, Mr. Thomas Mann took it upon himself to tell his audience in detail and length about the rise and fall of the BUDEENBROCKs in the beginning of 1900 in a town called Lübeck in northern Germany over quite a period of time in an ever faster changing community. When reading Mr. Manns book one can&#8217;t help but to think he probably &#8220;enjoyed&#8221; a few semester of law school, because some of his sentences beat in length and &#8220;understanding&#8221; every fancy law-descriptions thus making sure the reader has to read it at least twice to grant his audience ever more pleasure in reading his book(s).

Now, LGB, tried to tell his audiences, also in length and detail, what happened for a few weeks in a little uboat, where fifty young people are fighting for their life in a war, they didn&#8217;t start, &#8220;alles andere müssen Sie die Herren fragen, die diesen Krieg angefangen haben&#8221;and probably wouldn&#8217;t have begun anyway, if it were up to them at the first place.

Putting the different subjects into the necassary perspective either &#8220;poet&#8221; has given their respective audiences kind of an excitement, maybe even some kind of pleasure in as much that the reader now understands the society the BUDDENBROCKS had to deal with as well as the small &#8220;locked up&#8221; society of a uboat-crew having to deal with the permanent threat of death by writing in &#8220;beautiful, imaginatiye and/or eleveted thoughts.&#8221; regarding either subject-matter.

How about this &#8220;Thinking&#8221; of a man, Myladies? Fuss over?

You all have a nice one.

Sincerely Yours
Volker Erich kummrow</HTML>
