The Spitz in Painter Klecksel



In Wilhelm Busch's last major work from 1894, a spitz also plays a not insignificant role:


Painter Blot

Seventh Chapter


So it's like the previous one

Event teaches world history

Probably not the right area,

Where Kuno's fame and fortune flourishes.

Maybe if you get to know me better

Nature created it for the landscape,

The anyone who is inclined

Lots of nice vantage points.

Z. B. this piece of rock

Grant him a wide view.

Who is crossing that stream?


ree


This is Miss von der Ach.

Wealthy, but a bit elderly,

Half spiritual already and half still worldly,

They walk with peace of mind

And her Spitz to the monastery.



ree


Two dogs hop up,

These are linked by a string.


ree

The good lady is tied up.


ree


The spitz, very anxious, withdraws,



ree

The spitz hurries, the dogs after;


ree

With them Miss von der Ach.

Kuno jumps off his stone.


ree

A knife cut separates the leash.


The Kuno is extremely gallant.

The young lady asks before she disappears:»Aren't we allowed to see your studio?«


ree

»Holzgasse 5.« – »Thank you very much!« –

Perhaps that good deedhas quite pleasant consequences!

After this hopeful noteLet's continue in the praiseworthy work.
