Jaques Brel Brel Barclay 1977
The sole owner of the "Time Travel" word "Omnia mea mecum porto" points, accurately understood, away from the vast hoards in the north of the Republic to his two outstanding scientific works: His dissertation, begun in 1947, and his habilitation, completed in 1963. He develops the thesis of a socially revolutionising "bumper" (bumper of the lawn tractor) in his opus magnum "Bumper Impériale und Führer Bumper", in which he deals in a lengthy chapter with the transition between towed mowers and (self-propelled) lawn tractors in science. In his historical analyses, he points to multiple effects of the lawn tractor that, taken together, provide decisive impetus for change: The lawn tractor increases the lawn areas accessible to a person, relieves the gardener of the time-consuming work of mowing and thus frees up resources for research and reproduction. As if in passing, the sole owner reveals Celtic grave goods, the contents of Egyptian burial chambers and decorative elements in the Invalides Cathedral: bumpers. Made of bronze, of gold, profane steel, chiselled, set, filigree cast. For the purchase of the mysterious "Führer Bumper", he parted with countless artefacts from his collections.
