Record: listeners' notes. Written from listeners' notes, summaries, or memory rather than a shorthand transcript. The wording is the note-taker's as much as Steiner's: weigh a single striking phrase here far more cautiously than the same phrase in a stenographic volume, and do not rest an argument on one word. Evidence: «Nach zum Teil bruchstückhaften Mitschriften» (From transcripts that are in part fragmentary). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 246), which also speaks of "fragmentarischen Hörernotizen und Vortragszusammenfassungen". The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.
You see, if you compare what you see now with what [you] saw earlier, you will see the asymmetry in the reversed image. One side is completely different from the other side. Please keep in mind how it now looks from this side, that is, from this right side. Now let's turn around again and you will see how different it looks from the other side. You only see this [in these two projections] from two aspects, but if you walk around the group, you will see it from all possible sides. This gives life to the asymmetry by bringing out of the form just the subtle way of treating the asymmetry.
