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. Votes: 2

Each one will see God according to his own necessity, his own receptivity and, finally, according to the way God wants him to see the ultimate Truth. Votes: 2
