Ernst August Friedrich Klingemann Quotes

The Poets Are A Harmless Little Folk, With Their Dreams And Raptures And Heaven Full Of Greek Gods That They Carry About With Them In Their Fantasy. But They Become Wicked As Soon As They Presume To Hold Their Ideal Up To Reality And Then Flail The Latter Angrily, When They Should Have Nothing At All To Do With It. They Would, Nevertheless, Remain Harmless If They Were Only Granted Their Free Little Place In Reality Un Disturbed And Not Compelled Through Crowding And Pressure To Cast A Backward Glance At It, For It Reaches Beyond The Clouds, And They Themselves Cannot Survey It All And Must Cling To The Stars As Provisory Border Points, Of Which, However, Who Knows How Many Are Yet Today Invisible, Their Light Still In The Process Of Journeying Down To Us.
