The Seven Pillars of Wisdom I

As counted in Proverbs 9. A few translation seem to be in order.

Strength: The inscription on a house in Wiesbaden. It reads: “German house, German land, protect it, God, with your strong hand.”

Honour: The crest of a student fraternity, loosely translated as “Honour doesn‘t come cheap.

I found these seven pillars on the web and looked in my archive for photos to illustrate them. Then I got curious and found seven different pillars of wisdom. It’s possibly a translation or even an interpretation issue as in German they don’t match either list completely. I’ll do a part 2 tomorrow with different pillars.

Seven for September #21
