About

This site is dedicated to the memory of Heinrich Wohl – sceptic, mystic & provocateur.
I will use the blog to post further notes and anecdotes about Wohl from the material I have collected over the years and to which I still add as I find occasional scraps of information and thoughtful remarks.

I hope you will find the archive to be of interest and that you will return to the site from time to time.

As Wohl has written, ‘If you are puzzled by life, as I am, there is nothing that can be said that doesn’t require some sort of clarification or proviso or exception. Most things are best said in a whisper or in silence. Once I had a pair of good walking shoes. On the toe of one of them I wrote the word YES. On the other I wrote NO. As I walked I was always being reminded that there is always another side to a story and that both sides are necessary if we are to get anywhere. When the words faded I used to write them again, but always on the opposite shoe. Although I am often disappointed by what I have written, I’ve never been disappointed by walking.’
