The Hospital, ca. 1750

Seriously ill poor people went to the hospital to die. The beds were arranged so that patients could see the altar and join in the celebration of daily mass.
The nuns administered medicines made from herbs gathered in the wild or cultivated in the convent gardens to treat patients or relieve their suffering in their last days.

"Life is meaningless. Let's go for lunch." Or, the guy with the beret.

Probably the most accurate description of my life philosophy. 

Short answer: No

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a nice break!

Are any of you back? If so, do you want to study together for the combinatorics final? (Assuming that you haven't done it already!)

It is what it is

Es ist Unsinn
sagt die Vernunft
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe 

Es ist Unglück
sagt die Berechnung
Es ist nichts als Schmerz
sagt die Angst
Es ist aussichtslos
sagt die Einsicht
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe 

Es ist lächerlich
sagt der Stolz
Es ist leichtsinnig
sagt die Vorsicht
Es ist unmöglich
sagt die Erfahrung
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe
