accursed answers, проклятые ответы

after some more than 15 years of periodic querying, searching, wondering the whence of the Russian expression proklyatye voprosy, accursed, damned questions, today came upon the apparent source...in a 1858 prominently published translation of an 1853 German poem.
and that source leads back into the very deepest questions in all of "Western" history.
a deep pedigree.

another rare day of the goldener Spur in Moscow
