  Friedrich Ludwig Zacharias Werner - Free net encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Friedrich Ludwig Zacharias Werner (November 18, 1768 - January 17, 1823), was a German poet, dramatist and preacher.
For years he oscillated violently between aspirations towards the state of nature, which betrayed him into a series of rash and unhappy marriages, and a sentimental admiration, common to so many of the Romanticists, for the Roman Catholic Church, which ended in 1811 in his conversion.
Werner's talent was soon recognized and obtained for him, despite his personal character, a small government post at Warsaw, which he exchanged later for one at Berlin.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Friedrich Ludwig Zacharias Werner
The next year Werner was transferred to Berlin as a confidential clerk.
Werner undoubtedly possessed great dramatic talent, but he lacked self-control, and produced no work of lasting merit.
During this latter period of his life, also, he wrote "Die Mutter der Maddab&aeuml;er", a tragedy in which a beautiful tribute is paid to his mother in the principal character.

 Icon of My Pain
(18th century): [Zacharias] Werner gave a sermon on "that tiny piece of flesh, the most dangerous appurtenance of a man's body." On and on he graphically expounded to a blushed and blanched congregation — including several ladies who fainted in the aisles — about all the evils this tiny piece of flesh had caused.
Finally, Werner concluded, his voice rising to a shout: "Shall I show you that tiny piece of flesh?" Not a breath could be heard until he cried: "Ladies and gentlemen, behold the source of our sins!" Smiling at last, he stuck out his tongue.
An antifogmatic is any alcoholic drink taken in the morning to brace one against the fog or dampness outside, or taken with that as the excuse.

 Saint Patrick's Church: Saints of March 15
His friend Werner said that he knew only three men of superhuman energy--Napoleon, Goethe, and Clement Hofbauer (Attwater, Benedictines, Bentley, Delaney, Encyclopedia, Farmer, Hofer, Schamoni).
The saint was known for aiding the poor, provided refuge to nuns driven from Constantinople by the iconoclasts, ransomed slaves from the Venetians, forbade the selling of Christian slaves to the Moors of Africa, and translated Saint Gregory the Great's Dialogues into Greek.
Since "Zacharias embraced and cherished all people like a father and a good shepherd, and never allowed even the smallest injustice to happen to anyone," he was venerated as a saint immediately after his death (Attwater, Benedictines, Delaney, Farmer, Husenbeth, Schamoni).
