Wo aber die Gefahr ist, wächst, Das Rettende auch. <blockquote>But where danger is, salvation also blooms.</blockquote> - Friedrich Hölderlin

You have lost faith in anything great; you are doomed, then, doomed to perish unless that faith returns, like a comet from unknown skies.

Wie unvermögend ist doch der gutwilligste Fleiß der Menschen gegen die Allmacht der ungeteilten Begeisterung!

I can think of no people more fragmented... Craftsmen you see, but no humans, thinkers, but no humans, priests, but no humans, lords and servants, boys and established peoples but no humans — is this not like a battlefield, where hands and arms and all limbs lie chaotically in pieces, while the spilled blood of life runs into the sand?
