[Footnote 18: 'Like a lily softly swaying in the hushed air, so my being moves in its elements, in the charming dream of her.' 'Our souls rush forward in colossal plans, like exulting streams rushing perpetually through mountain and forest.' 'If the old mute rock of Fate did not stand opposing them, the waves of the heart would never foam so beautifully and become mind.' 'There is a night in the soul which no gleam of starlight, not even dry wood, illuminates,' etc.] [Footnote 19: Comp. Tieck's _Biographie von Koepke_. Brandes.] [Footnote 20: _Franz Sternbald_, I.

Berlin, 1812.] [Footnote 23: 'A young hunter was sitting in the heart of the mountains in a thoughtful mood beside his fowling-piece, while the noise of the water and the woods was sounding through the solitude ... it grew darker ... the birds of night began to shoot with fitful wing along their mazy courses ... unthinkingly he pulled a straggling root from the earth, and on the instant heard with affright a stifled moan underground, which winded downwards in doleful tones, and died plaintively away in the deep distance. The sound went through his inmost heart; it seized him as if he had unwittingly touched the wound, of which the dying frame of Nature was expiring in its agony.' (Runenberg.)] [Footnote 24: _Hymnen an die Nacht_.] [Footnote 25: In _Die Lehrlinge von Sais_.] [Footnote 26: _Athenäum_, iii., 1800.] INDEX Addison Æschylus Agrippa v.
