Lilienthals Traum - Dream of mankind

O

Here's a music video to a song of German singer/songwriter Reinhard Mey, that shows in a short sequence the first succesful use of handcrafted "human" wings" by Otto Lilienthal in 1891.
This is posted for the pictures - not really my taste of music. But as the Romans said already: there's no accounting for taste.

The opening book titel reads: "The bird's flight - as a basis for the art of flying"
The final words in the video (translated as good as I can):
Otto Lilienthal was born May 23rd, 1884 in Anklam.
He is regarded today as being the first successfull aviator of our mankind.
On the 9th of August 1896, he crashed fatally with his flight apparatus, fell in a coma on the way home, and died on 10th of August, 1896 in Berlin.

Enjoy. Olham
 
Hello Olham,
despite knowing Reinhard Mey i have never heard this song, many thanks for posting this !
I somehow miss this kind of music coming from the radios of the 1970ies (well, sometimes), along with the french chansons of the time :ernae:
And one of my favourite TV series back then, "Die Grashüpfer" (Les Faucheurs des Marguerites)

Jesus, now that you say it - I'm writing mixed up letters very often recently.
Should I go to a doctor? (Gregory House would assume the worst now).
Or is it just the getting-old factor? (still though shot 3 Nupes down only yesterday)

Oh my - lupus ! Isn't it written lupus?
If so - you may have it too then. A mirror! Were's a mirror?!

But - no, we can feel safe. In the end, it's never lupus; you're right.

But I like this series; not every show, but the most are good, and some extremely good, I think.

Good night for now, ROOSTER, and all. (Berlin time: 00:11 h)
