""Aber wie das Erhabene von Dämmerung und Nacht, wo sich die Gestalten vereinigen, gar leicht erzeugt wird, so wird es dagegen vom Tage verscheucht, der alles sondert und trennt, und so muss es auch durch jede wachsende Bildung vernichtet werden, wenn es nicht glücklich genug ist, sich zu dem Schönen zu flüchten und sich innig mit ihm zu vereinigen, wodurch denn beide gleich unsterblich und unverwüstlich sind." – Dichtung und Wahrheit II, 6"
