Wittgenstein: Haus

Wittgenstein
once co-designed
a house.

The other man
Paul Engelmann
created beautiful angles
As Ludo pondered door handles.

I love Ludwig
for little things
like this.

Detail, like beauty, is all.

I'd like to live there
cause his sister
didn't much care for
it.

    I wouldn't mind living there.
    I wonder if you took as much care and attention over that pome as Wittgenstein did over those handles?
    I bet you - quite literally - tossed it off.
    Just saying.

    Took much deliberation.
    Thanks for your comment.

      Deliberation?
      Blood, sweat, tears, rage and violent self-laceration: that's what I expect from your actual poetasters.
      Thanks for your reply.

      Could you tell me where this so-called 'Haus' is - it looks a bit Bauhausian. Plus, I think all of us Channel 4 viewers would be keen to know just how much it is worth in Great British Pesos.

      It's in Vienna, now an embassy, must be worth a few million I guess.
      Has its own Wikipage...

    "It's in Vienna, now an embassy, must be worth a few million I guess.

    Actually gleaned more information about the man and the building on the wikipage.....and it looks a lot like the Bauhaus museum in Tel-Aviv which Wittgenstein's sister wouldn't like much either... :)
