In the dramatic and tragic vitality of Calderón there lives the medieval struggle for Christ, that is, the struggle to fill the nature of the human being with the Christ. When we compare Calderón's Cyprianus drama with the later drama about Faust—this is quite characteristic—we find first in Lessing[^3] the awareness: Human beings must find the Christ during their earthly life because Christ endured the Mystery of Golgotha and united himself with earthly mankind. Not that this lived in any very clear ideas in Lessing, but he did have a definite sense for it. The fragment of his *Faust* which Lessing succeeded in getting down on paper concludes when the demons—those who were still able to prevent Cyprianus from finding the Christ during earthly life—receive the call: ‘You shall not conquer!’","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IX","site_heading":"Dead Thoughts and Living Spirit: The Mystery of Golgotha's Answer","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

In der dramatisch-tragischen Lebendigkeit des Calderón lebt dieses mittelalterliche Ringen nach dem Christus, das heißt, nach dem Durchchristetwerden der menschlichen Natur. Und wenn man dieses Calderón-Drama von dem Cyprianus mit dem späteren Faust-Drama vergleicht - es ist das charakteristisch genug -, dann sieht man, da tritt zuerst bei Lessing das Bewußtsein auf: Der Mensch muß im irdischen Leben den Christus finden können, denn der Christus ist durch das Mysterium von Golgatha gegangen und hat sich mit der irdischen Menschheit vereinigt. Nicht, daß das in klaren Ideen bei Lessing gelebt hat, aber ein deutliches Gefühl davon hat in Lessing gelebt. Und als er seinen «Faust» schreiben wollte - er hat ja nur ein kurzes Stückchen davon zu Papier bringen können -, endete er damit, daß den Dämonen, also denen, die noch den Cyprianus abhalten konnten, während des irdischen Lebens den Christus zu finden, zugerufen wird: «Ihr sollt nicht siegen!».","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":188,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/210/1922-02-18/p034"}],"english":["GA 210/1922-02-18/p035"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":188,"en_words":174,"ratio":0.93,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5123,"original_word_count":5160,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Johanna Collis","identified_edition":"RSP1991","book_title":"Old and New Methods of Initiation","publisher":"Rudolf Steiner Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA210/English/RSP1991/19220218p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
