Past of Ending a book launching poem
Cologne, 8 Sep 2019
by Richard Tuttle

Measur
ing suc
cess comes
more in older age.
I neither
wanted to
export my culture,
nor leave
it. Rather
to improve it, by sear
ch and re
search in
the bet ter world
and bring
it home.
What a specta
cular fail
ure! – an
increas ngly he
gemonic,
isolated,
troubled, world, not
interest
ed in past,
present nor future
not in art,
science nor
nature. – I am not
leaving
a better
world... Yet here
thousands
of miles
away, far from my
language
group, we
launch a book, re
cording
the trials,
hopes and dreams, mo
tivating
me. We do
not need success –
the world
could be
worse. We need a
book like
this, by
people motivat
ed by words
and ima
ges to produce
a world yet
to be mea
sured – a book, which
has a past,
present and
future, a book of
circum
stances
analyza ble, and
a proof
"making" is
to change the pre
sent – the
"eternal"
present. My grati
tude goes
to Dieter,
Walther, Christian
and all of
you for
coming to a start
of a begin
ning and
past of ending!
