	Lichtenberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Georg Christoph Lichtenberg was born in Oberramstadt, near Darmstadt, on July 1, 1742.
		Lichtenberg was the first of seventeen children, most of whom died at an early age.
		Notably, Lichtenberg constructed a huge electrophorus and, in the course of experimentations, discovered in 1777 the basic principle of modern xerographic copying; the images that he reproduced are still called "Lichtenberg figures." These are radial patterns formed when sharp, pointed conducting bodies at high voltage get near enough to insulators to discharge electrically.

		She is both Lichtenberg’s pupil and housekeeper, and later his lover.
		Naturally, the Stechardess is timid and embarrassed, and although Lichtenberg is discreet to a fault this doesn’t prevent the gossipwaggers from having their day.
		Lichtenberg wasn’t the only one among his peers to put down on paper his concise thoughts and ruminations about the world, and I find much more preferable those of Novalis, Goethe, the Schlegels, etc., as well as the Frenchman Joseph Joubert.
