Schiller writes in a letter [to Goethe, 17 December 1795] of a ‘poetic mood’. I think I know what he means, I think I am familiar with it myself. It is the mood of receptivity to nature and one in which one's thoughts seem as vivid as nature itself.
Original German: Das Subjekt gehört nicht zur Welt, sondern es ist eine Grenze der Welt.
