          Circa 1978.
          William Hogarth (10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist who has been credited with pioneering western sequential art. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects". Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian".

                    Circa 1979.
                    Winterreise (Winter Journey) is a cycle of 24 songs by Frans Schubert (op. 89, D. 911). The first part of twelve songs was finished February 1927. The second part in October of that year. The Guidepost is song number 20.

                    Was vermeid' ich denn die Wege,
                    Wo die ander'n Wand'rer geh'n,
                    Suche mir versteckte Stege,
                    Durch verschneite Felsenhöh'n ?

                    Habe ja doch nichts begangen,
                    Daß ich Menschen sollte scheu'n, -
                    Welch ein törichtes Verlangen
                    Treibt mich in die Wüstenei'n ?

                    Weiser stehen auf den Straßen,
                    Weisen auf die Städte zu.
                    Und ich wandre sonder Maßen
                    Ohne Ruh' und suche Ruh'.

                    Einen Weiser seh' ich stehen
                    Unverrückt vor meinem Blick;
                    Eine Straße muß ich gehen,
                    Die noch keiner ging zurück.
