NP but Hesse

[Mark Kohut]

An old friend of mine sent me many printed-out pages re Herman Hesse mostly from 'German Missions
in the US' concerning The Legacy of Hermann Hesse 50 Years later. (Hesse died Aug 9. 1962) 
He is much more read---and more importantly--reread in Hesse's work than I. 
 
Picture that leads is the cover of the Aug 6,2012 Der Spiegel Magazine which is all Hesse, perhaps in a wide-awake hat
(but looks not wide-enough), giving the finger under the title "Der Storenfried: Sinnsucher, Dichter, Anarchist--- The Troublemaker:
seeker of meaning, poet, and anarchist."
 
All of the above is just me procrastinating and setting up the line I wanted to post. Which is the title of an essay Hesse
published in 1914, "O Freunde, nicht diese Tone" [w umlaut]---"Oh Friends, not these tones"..
 
which is wonderful (to me) to learn of as we've explored those geopolitical tones in Against the Day.
 
(He was vociferously lambasted publicly whch led to shying away from the public eye later in life, it says)
