Ein schlauer Fuchs wandert / A crafty fox hikes

            Der schlaue Fuchs gilt in der keltischen Mythologie als Seelenführer, als jemand, der Dich gedanklich wie auch körperlich an Dein Ziel bringen kann. In Saint-Exupery‘s „Der kleine Prinz“ zum Beispiel trifft ein Fuchs den kleinen Prinzen und macht ihm über das Wort Zähmung die Besonderheit einer Freundschaft klar. Und der Fuchs ist es, der zum kleinen Prinzen die berühmten Sätze sagt: „Man sieht nur mit dem Herzen gut. Das Wesentliche ist für die Augen unsichtbar.“ Den hier abgebildeten Fuchs sah ich in Wien im Vorbeigehen in der Auslage des Antiquariats „Zum Stein der Weisen“. War das Zufall oder soll das doch eher ein Hinweis für alle Vorbeigehenden sein ?

The crafty fox is in the Celtic mythology deemed to be a spiritual guide, as one who can help you to reach your personal aims mental as well as physical. In Saint-Exupery‘s „The little Prince“ for example meets a fox the little prince and makes via the word taming clear to him the speciality of a friendship. And it‘s the fox who says to the little prince the famous sentences: „One can see well only with the heart. The essentials are invisible for the eyes.“ The here imaged fox I saw at Vienna when passing by on the shop window of the antiquarian bookshop „To the philosophers' stone“. Was that a coincidence or should it be more probably a hint for all people passing by ?
