Quote of the Day/ Zitat des Tages #144 ENG/DEU

in quote •  6 years ago 

With the wings of time, sadness flies away.
Jean de La Fontaine

Jean de La Fontaine was a French writer. His fables are still very popular in France today.
He began studying theology, but broke it off two years later. He spent two more years at home, where he spent most of his time reading. Finally he moved to Paris where he studied law from 1645 to 1647. This time he was admitted as a lawyer in the Supreme Court.
In 1658 he published his first work, the "little epic Adonis". He dedicated it to the Minister of Finance, Nicolas Fouquet, to whom he was a regular guest. On his behalf he wrote poems again and again in the future. However, when Fouquet fell out of favour with Louis XIV and was even arrested, he withdrew to Limoges for a few months as a precaution. Here he devoted himself to writing erotic novels, which, however, did not earn him as much fame as his later fables.

Mit den Flügeln der Zeit fliegt die Traurigkeit davon.
Jean de La Fontaine

Jean de La Fontaine war ein französischer Schriftsteller. Seine Fabeln sind in Frankreich noch heute überaus beliebt.
Er begann ein Theologiestudium, brach es aber zwei Jahre später ab. Zwei weitere Jahre verbrachte er zu Hause, wo er die meiste Zeit mit lesen verbrachte. Schließlich zog es ihn nach Paris, wo er von 1645 bis 1647 Jura studierte. Dieses Mal brachte er es zu einer Zulassung als Anwalt am obersten Gericht.
1658 veröffentlichte er sein erstes Werk, das „kleine Epos Adonis“. Er widmete es dem Finanzminister Nicolas Fouquet, bei welchem er regelmäßig zu Gast war. In seinem Auftrag schrieb er künftig immer wieder Gedichte. Als Fouquet jedoch bei Ludwig XIV. in Ungnade fiel und sogar inhaftiert wurde, zog er sich vorsichtshalber für einige Monate nach Limoges zurück. Hier widmete er sich dem Schreiben erotischer Novellen, welche ihm jedoch nicht so viel Ruhm einbrachten, wie seine später erschienenen Fabeln.
