I had not been able to find out the reason, even by occult means, why the Greek motifs, the pagan, the Gothic [figures] were all sculpted in stone instead of wood. Whereas all the things that were sculpted in wood with the Christian development are actually properly expressed. [Illegible words] If it were in wood, it would first show what it should be. She is a Pietä. You can't really make a Christ in stone. The figure of the apostle is suitable for stone. The same goes for the Lateran figure of Christ, which should also be made of wood. That's very interesting, the fact certainly exists for me, but the reasons will perhaps first emerge in occult research. Why, I don't know myself today.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"76.
