Dear friends had moved with their children to Dornach, settled there near the construction to manage the garden. And the oldest, seven year-old child, a spiritually infinitely bright boy who was something quite peculiar, however, also concerning his heart qualities was really a little bit like a sunny child. One had the most intimate interest in the soul of this child, even if one could see it only briefly here and there. When then the father joined the armed forces to do his duty as a German citizen on the battlefield, there was the seven-year-old boy with his heart, I would like to say, already in the whole situation of life that he made particular efforts to substitute the father, as well he was able to do, to help his mother, while he managed everything possible. He went into the city, made purchases, the seven-year-old boy quite on his own. One evening the boy was missed. It was just an evening lecture. A person friendly to us came possibly at ten o'clock and said that the boy would be missed. It could not be unclear in the end at all that this had to do something with a removal van which had toppled over near our construction at a place where perhaps a removal van has never gone before and and will probably also not go for a long time. The van had toppled over a small embankment in a meadow that the carters said, it would be out of question that one could lift the van in the evening. They unyoked the horses about which they were very anxious, and left the van to lift it the next day because they believed that they had to work for a whole day to be able to lift the heavy carriage. Now it was ten o'clock in the evening. We had to assume that the boy was missed because the carriage had toppled over. All possible tools were brought, and everybody who could work worked, and in two hours the carriage was lifted. At midnight we found the dead boy under the removal van.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Liebe Freunde waren mit ihren Kindern nach Dornach hingezogen, hatten sich dort in der Nähe des Baues angesiedelt, um die Gärtnerei zu besorgen. Und das älteste, sieben Jahre alte Kind, ein geistig unendlich aufgeweckter Knabe, der aber auch in bezug auf seine Herzenseigenschaften etwas ganz Eigentümliches war, der war wirklich etwas wie ein Sonnenkind. Man hatte innigsten Anteil an der Seele dieses Kindes, auch wenn man es nur flüchtig da und dort einmal sehen konnte. Als dann der Vater eingerückt war, um auf dem Schlachtfelde seine Pflicht als deutscher Bürger zu tun, da war der siebenjährige Knabe mit seinem Herzen, ich möchte sagen, schon so in der ganzen Situation des Lebens darin, daß er sich ganz besonders angestrengt hat, den Vater, so gut er konnte, zu ersetzen, um der Mutter zu helfen, indem er alles mögliche besorgte. Er fuhr in die Stadt, kaufte ein, der siebenjährige Knabe ganz allein. Bines Abends wurde nun der Knabe vermißt. Es war gerade ein Vortragsabend. Eine uns befreundete Persönlichkeit kam so etwa um zehn Uhr und sagte, daß der Knabe vermißt wäre. Und es konnte zum Schluß gar nicht unklar sein, daß dieses Vermißtsein des Knaben etwas zu tun habe mit dem Umfallen eines Möbelwagens, der in der Nähe des Baues an einer Stelle umgefallen war, wo vielleicht vorher kaum ein Möbelwagen gefahren ist, seit jener Zeit auch nicht wieder und wohl auch lange Zeit hindurch keiner fahren wird. Der Wagen war über eine kleine Böschung in eine Wiese hinein so heruntergefallen, daß die Fuhrleute sagten, es wäre keine Rede, daß man den Wagen am Abend noch heben könne. Sie spannten die Pferde aus, für die sie sehr besorgt waren, und ließen den Wagen ruhig liegen, um ihn am nächsten Tage zu heben, weil sie glaubten, man würde einen ganzen Tag zu tun haben, um den schweren Wagen heben zu können. Nun war es zehn Uhr abends. Wir mußten das Vermißtsein des Knaben in Zusammenhang mit dem Umfallen dieses Wagens bringen. Es wurden alle möglichen Instrumente herbeigeschafft, und alles, was arbeiten konnte, arbeitete, und in zwei Stunden war der Wagen gehoben. Um Mitternacht fanden wir den toten Knaben unter dem Möbelwagen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":373,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/159/1915-03-13/p013"}],"english":["GA 159/1915-03-13/p019"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":373,"en_words":369,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":9256,"original_word_count":9181,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"UNK2013","book_title":"The Mystery of Death","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA159/English/UNK2013/19150313p02.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.
