‘Anarchismus’ (Anarchism), “Ulk”, #39, Sept. 1901 (Not sure who the artist is) Source Depiction of Anarchism as a snake with knives for teeth, threatening the aristocracy and government power.  Text:  Ihr aber, die ihr blicht Mit zornigem Neid Auf fürsten pracht und herrlichkeit, Auf all’ die großen dieser Erde: Seid glücklich, daß ihr unten seid, Seid froh, versteckt im Thal zu wohnen, Im engen Haus, am stillen gerde, Und laßt, wer will, hoch in Gefahren thronen. Translated (As best as I could): But you who are blind with an angry envy At princely splendor and glory At all the big people of this earth: You are lucky to be underneath, Be glad to live hidden in the valley, To dwell in the narrow house, in the quiet place, And let, whoever will, dwell high in peril
