Der Einsame an Gott
I am lonely, God, shaken by the storms of fate.
Unloved and abandoned
I struggle in this hostile night.
My heart grows heavy, and grows bitter
each time I think of you.
You are a blind God, full of cruelties,

why do you let the monsters and the scoundrels
be happy, while the

Many important aspects of music reproduction seem to come naturally to tubed amplifiers. They generally have superb presentation of instrumental timbres, smooth and unfatiguing treble, and spectacular soundstaging.

Yet, alongside his desire to promote intercultural harmony was a darker purpose that sought to root out the ‘blundering corruptions’ caused by those ‘communities of other-speaking races’ whose imperfect acquisition of the English language was infecting and mutilating the superior tongue. Bridges’ conflicted aims demonstrate how attempts to purify and control English are often driven by social, moral, and racial agendas; by seeking to keep English pure, Bridges was really concerned with the purity of its speakers.
“Do you want to know why it is I wear this crown?”
“I am the first horseman,” he continues, “the one who was tasked with toppling your old way of living. You and your foolish brethren believed you could outpace God. You built and innovated, and in your quest you robbed the earth of its purity and forgot that you all had another master.
“You all turned your backs on God—yes, even you, dear Sara—and I am here to make you remember.
“I am your mortality. I am the ugly truth that your bodies are impermanent, feeble, corrupt. I am the reminder that all men must face a great and fearsome reckoning.” The rain thunders with his voice. “This is who I have always been and will always be—undying, unchanging.”
That’s what the sea had done to them, too. It had annihilated them without for a second relinquishing its formidable purity, those crests of glory that the water raised with a perseverance completely unconcerned with humankind. It was definitely a higher power. Once again, Amador was sure that this was God’s embrace and that Coronado had died in his terrible bosom.
