Letter to Edith Maryon

Rudolf Steiner to Edith Maryon

Penmaenmawr, August 30, 1923

My dear Edith Maryon!

Today is the penultimate day here; and everything has gone well. About the surroundings, I would like to add this: I was with a few others in a car at one of the Druid altars; in another place, it is like this: from Penmaenmawr you can see something like the following mountain view:

[see sketch on page 152]

If you now follow the path...... on the other side of a, there is a plain at the top of the summit: up there are

No vehicles can drive there. There is wonderful solitude there. Two dilapidated Druid circles. I went there with Wachsmuth on foot. Standing at the Druidic shrines, where people had attended to spiritual matters so many years ago, was very meaningful to me. The way up (about 1 ¼ hours) was very beautiful, full of the most beautiful views of the surroundings.

Now comes the last lecture here. Then the farewell evening. Then it's off to London on Saturday. Departure from there on Sunday the 5th. On Sunday morning there is a meeting of the local Anthroposophical Society and in the afternoon a lecture by a branch. On Sunday and Monday evening there are then the planned medical lectures for doctors and on the 4th, at the instigation of Rosenkrantz, a eurythmy performance. On the 5th we will then continue homewards. So I can hope to be in Dornach soon. I shall need at most one day in Stuttgart. I look forward to being in Dornach.

My health is good and I hope that there my recovery will continue fully.

For this and for everything I send the warmest thoughts,

Rudolf Steiner
