Porque es terrible el seguirse a sí mismo cuando lo hicimos todo, lo quisimos todo, lo pudimos todo y se nos quebraron las manos, las manos y los dientes mordiendo hierro con fuego; y ahora, como se desciende terriblemente de lo cotidiano a lo infinito, ataúd por ataúd, desbarrancándonos como peñascos o como caballos mundo abajo, vamos con extraños, paso a paso y tranco a tranco midiendo el derrumbamiento general.

Andreas Friedrich - Emblemata Nova, 1617. First developed in the 16th century, emblems consist of three parts: a symbolic picture (pictura) with a motto or title (inscriptio) and an explanatory poem or epigram (subscriptio). The purpose of the emblem is to indirectly convey moral, political or religious values in forms that need to be decoded by the viewer. The pictura often juxtapose ordinary objects in an enigmatic way so as to offer a reader the intellectual challenge of attempting to divine all the allegorical meanings. In this way, emblem books typified the extraordinary Renaissance and Baroque aesthetic in which objects were thought to contain hidden meanings and concealed links between apparently dissimilar objects were believed to exist. ‘Emblemata Nova’ includes a subtitle that translates approximately as: a picture book, in which our contemporary world and its essence is painted disguisedly and explained by matching rhymes, exhorting the pious to more devotion and virtue, the evil and reckless to acknowledge the true teachings of Christianity and as a warning to them.
