Paracelsus de Mineral. tract. 1. pag. m. 243 How it will succeed in many other Vegetable Juices, and Infusions of the same Colour, I have at present so few at hand, that I must leave you to find it out your self.
From Pheidias to Rembrandt there is no onward movement. A Savant may out-lustre a Savant, a Poet never throws a Poet into the shade. Hippocrates is outrun, Archimides, Paracelsus, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, La Place, Pindar not; Pheidias not. Pascal, the Savant, is out-run, Pascal, the Writer, not. There is movement in art, but not progress.
Professor Sudhoff: Bibliographia Paracelsica, Berlin, 1894, 1899. R. Julius Hartmann: Theophrast von Hohenheim, Berlin, 1904; ditto, Franz Strunz, Leipzig, 1903. Anna M. Stoddart: The Life of Paracelsus, London, John Murray, 1911. Paracelsus is the Luther of medicine, the very incarnation of the spirit of revolt.
It was followed by the more ambitious "Paracelsus," a striking attempt to fill a mediæval outline with a compact body of modern thought; but in spite of the lovely lyric, "Over the sea our galleys went," and in spite of other beauties, the public did not heed the book, and it had no success except with a very small circle. It must be remembered that those days were days of poetic exhaustion.
And there are the Victors in the yet deeper strivings of the soul in its inner battles and spiritual conquests Milton's Adam, Paracelsus, Dante, the soul in The Palace of Art, Abt Vogler, Isaiah, Teufelsdröckh, Paul. To read of such men and women is to be thrilled by the Titanic possibilities of the soul of man! The world has come into other and greater battle-days.
I am delighted that you should appreciate Mr. Browning's high power very high, according to my view very high, and various. Yes, 'Paracelsus' you should have.
"I know of an infallible method," she replied, "the aroph of Paracelsus to wit, and it is easy of application. Do you wish to know more about it?" she added; and without waiting for me to answer she brought a manuscript, and put it in my hands. This powerful emmenagogue was a kind of unguent composed of several drugs, such as saffron, myrrh, etc., compounded with virgin honey.
In Pauline, however, there is little positive beauty. In the next book, Paracelsus , there is a great deal. Here the dramatic form was much more definite, though still not attempting acted or actable drama.
The work mentioned before makes very honorable mention of its predecessors, and we were incited to investigate those original sources themselves. We turned to the works of Theophrastus, Paracelsus, and Basilius Valentinus, as well as to those of Helmont, Starkey, and others, whose doctrines and directions, resting more or less on nature and imagination, we endeavored to see into and follow out.
A curious little book, written against the quackery of Paracelsus, by Leonard Doldius, a Nurnberg physician, and translated into Latin and augmented, by Andreas Libavius, doctor and physician of Rotenburg, alludes to the same story, and gives the Jew a new name nowhere else met with.
