摘要

In a modern house set among meadows and woodland, one picture stood out among fine old paintings and vivid modern artwork. A man with deep set yet gentle eyes, high forehead, and swept back hairline holds a lute in apparent anticipation of playing a baroque piece. Behind him on the wall are two cases of North American moths and butterflies: a polyphemus, a cecropia, a tiger swallowtail and others. Sibylla Lippisch Brown tells me this photograph of her father appeared in a 1946 issue of Life Magazinein an article on German 'rocket scientists' who escaped the advancing Russian army and were brought to the West just after WWII. Dr. Alexander Lippisch was the inventor of the delta wing that allows an aircraft to safely exceed the speed of sound; he wasalso the designer of the ME 163 rocket plane flown by the Luftwaffe toward the end of the war. Alex was a scientist, not a military person, and the mounted Lepidoptera and Lute are symbols of his cultured Continental demeanor, as I knew him in Cedar Rapids, Iowa during my childhood (Collins 2007).
