The transition from the passivity of sensuousness to the activity of thought and of will can be effected only by the intermediary state of aesthetic liberty; and though in itself this state decides nothing respecting our opinions and our sentiments, and therefore leaves our intellectual and moral value entirely problematical, it is, however, the necessary condition without which we should never attain to an opinion or a sentiment.
They who attain their eighteenth year are not allowed to go at large after their liberation, but are put under the charge of special juntas for a useful education.

Spirit of all childhood! Forgive me, forgive me, for so lightly betraying a child's dream-secrets.
It is at once perceived that here are two points of view that will give us new and perhaps the most imposing aspects of the scene.
