"When pure statistics and measured features
are no more keys to living Creatures,
When dancing and bursting into song
proves our most learned scholars wrong,
When all the world is fresh and new
and once more Nature to herself is true,
When light and darkness merge their love
into a higher unity above,
When fairy tales and legends old
tell the true story of the world
Then, but a single, secret phrase
shall put to flight our mixed up ways."
Novalis, tysk 1800 talls poet.
