"Georg Büchners Geist lebte nun mit uns, in uns, unter uns. Und wer ihn kennt, diesen wie glühende Lava aus chthonischen Tiefen emporgeschleuderten Dichtergeist, der darf sich vorstellen, daß er, bei allem Abstand seiner Einmaligkeit, ein Verwandter von uns gewesen ist. Er ward zum Heros unseres Heroons erhoben."
