The Royal Wedding

Sword of Doom

Sword of Doom originally took form as a Japanese novel published in forty-one volumes beginning in 1913. It later won fame as the violent samurai film. The story follows a nihilistic swordsman as he becomes a killing machine. In this particular scene, the swordsman, Gray, is confronted by a woman warning him of avengers in the forest. Gray pushes the woman away, and enters the path. With an eerie calm, Gray kills each man, leaving behind him a wake of bloodshed.

Fortunate Encounter

Goethe wrote the Fortunate Encounter as an account of his relationship with Schiller. Previous to this encounter, Goethe, though consumed with his botanical studies, was increasingly agitated by Schiller's recent work. He considered Schiller's work to be highly offensive, and announced that an accord between them was inconceivable. However, all this would change when his nemesis moved into the neighbourhood.


For months Goethe struggled to draw a leaf that would speak for all leaves


Then, Schiller moved to town


Goethe avoided Schiller as best he could, and for a time the two lived side by side as strangers


But one day they ran into each other at a Philosopher Meeting


They happened to leave at the same time, and conversation ensued


Irresistibly charmed, Goethe accepted his invitation inside


Goethe drew his archetype Leaf , but Schiller pointed out that it was all wrong; it was merely an idea. Goethe was taken aback


He was thoroughly impressed by his contemporary. From this moment on, Schiller and Goethe would be best friends forever
