I conceive, therefore, that the natural classification of languages is also the natural classification of mankind. With language, moreover, all the higher manifestations of man's vital activity are closely interwoven, so that these receive due recognition in and by that of speech." Ueber die Bedeutung der Sprache für die Naturgeschichte des Menschen, pp. 16-18.
Mary Stuart Wohlthaetig heilend nahet mir der Tod, Der ernste Freund! Mit seinen schwarzen Fluegeln Bedeckt er meine Schmach den Menschen adelt, Den tiefstgesunkenen das letzte Schicksal 'Mary Stuart'. After the completion of 'Wallenstein', in the spring of 1799, Schiller was not long in selecting a new dramatic theme.
It is a German, not an Italian or a Frenchman, the philosopher Nietzsche, who writes: "Seit es Menschen giebt, hat der Mensch sich zu wenig gefreut; das allein ist unsere Erbsünde." There has been a great change in the status of women in the last twenty-five years.
But it is precisely this conception which is lacking in the Greek Mysteries, and that inevitably, as Rohde points out: "The Eleusinian Mysteries in common with all Greek religion, differentiated clearly between gods and men, eins ist der Menschen, ein andres der Gotter-Geschlecht en andron, en theon genos."
A specially energetic fellow-worker on Eimer’s line is W. Haacke, a zoologist of Jena, author of “Gestaltung und Vererbung,” and “Die Schöpfung des Menschen und seiner Ideale.” In the first of these works Haacke combats, energetically and with much detail, Weismann’s “preformation theory,” and defends “epigenesis,” for which he endeavours to construct graphic diagrams, his aim being to make a foundation for the inheritance of acquired characters, definitely directed evolution, saltatory, symmetrical, and correlated variation.
Very strange was this vision of an exalted and sensitive existence, which seemed to invade the next sphere, in contrast with the spontaneous, instinctive life, so healthy and so near the ground I had been surveying. This was the German book entitled: Die Scherin von Prevorst. Eröffnungen über das innere Leben des Menschen und über das hereinragen einer Geisterwelt in die unsere.
The most constantly recurring form of satire is that of contradiction between the sentimental expression of elevated, universal sympathy and broader humanity and the failure to seize an immediately presented opportunity to embody desire in deed. Thus Frau Kurt, buried in “Siegwart,” refuses persistently to be disturbed by those in immediate need of a succoring hand. Pankraz and his mother while on a drive discover an old man weeping inconsolably over the death of his dog. The scene of the dead ass at Nampont occurs at once to Madame Kurt and she compares the sentimental content of these two experiences in deprivation, finding the palm of sympathy due to the melancholy dog-bewailer before her, thereby exalting the sentimental privilege of her own experience as a witness. Quoting Yorick, she cries: “Shame on the world! If men only loved one another as this man loves his dog!” At this very moment the reality of her sympathy is put to the test by the approach of a wretched woman bearing a wretched child, begging for assistance, but Frau Kurt, steeped in the delight of her sympathetic emotion, repulses her rudely. Pankraz, on going home, takes his Yorick and reads again the chapter containing the dead-ass episode; he spends much time in determining which event was the more affecting, and tears flow at the thought of both animals. In the midst of his vehement curses on “unempfindsame Menschen,” “a
Der alte Urstand der Natur kehrt wieder, Wo Mensch dem Menschen gegenuebersteht; Zum letzten Mittel, wenn kein andres mehr Verfangen will, ist ihm das Schwert gegeben. 'William Tell'.
What does Marx say to this beginning of a letter to Tiedge, "Jeden Tag schwebte mir immer folgende Brief an Sie, Sie, Sie, immer vor"? Or to these repetitions from a series of notes written also from Toeplitz in the summer of 1812? "Leben Sie wohl liebe, gute A." "Liebe, gute A., seit ich gestern," etc. "Scheint der Mond .... so sehen Sie den kleinsten, kleinsten aller Menschen bei sich," etc.
And he was, incidentally, an omnivorous reader, for, as he naïvely said: Viele Bücher muss ich kennen, Denn die Menschen kenn' ich gern. As to his originality, another confession is significant: Ja, es gibt nur wenig Leute, Deren Schüler ich nicht bin.
