Once, years ago, a man said to me—and I could appreciate his point of view—that he was sick and tired of hearing people speak of the true, the beautiful and the good, for anyone in search of an idealistic expression mouthed the phrase. But in ancient times these realities were experienced not externally but with complete soul participation. Thus in the upper region of Titian's picture we see wisdom not yet transcendent, radiating artistically because of the way it is painted. In the middle, beauty; below, virtue, that which is fit. What is the inner nature of the fit? Here is manifest the genius, the profundity, of the languages active among men. If we proceeded in an exterior way we might be reminded of a certain hunchback who went to church and listened to a priest describing quite externally how everything in the world is good and beautiful and fit. Waiting at the church door, the hunchback asked the priest: You said the idea of everything is good—have I, too, a good shape? The priest replied: For a hunchback you have a very good shape.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture VI","site_heading":"Painting and the Spiritual Radiance of Color","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.

Ich konnte begreifen, als ein Mann mir vor einer ziemlich großen Anzahl von Jahren sagte, ihm wächst schon zum Hals heraus, wenn die Leute von dem Wahren, Schönen und Guten sprechen, denn jeder, der irgendwo eine Phrase, eine idealistische Phrase sagen will, der spricht von dem Wahren, Schönen und Guten. Aber man kann auf ältere Zeiten zurückverweisen, in denen diese Dinge mit allem menschlichen Anteil, mit allem menschlichen Seelen-Interesse erlebt worden sind. Und dann, möchte ich sagen, sieht man, aber in der Weise des Schönen, des Künstlerischen, auf dem Tizianschen Bilde oben die Weisheit, aber eben noch nicht nur Weisheit, sondern so, wie sie noch scheint, so daß sie noch künstlerisch ist, daß sie gemalt ist. In der Mitte die Schönheit und unten die Tugend, das Taugliche. Nun darf man aber das 'Taugliche ein wenig nach seiner inneren Wesenheit, seiner Bedeutung fragen. Wenn man diesen Dingen nachgeht, so kommt man durch den Sprachgenius auf die Tiefe der unter den Menschen schaffenden Sprachseele. Geht man nur äußerlich zu Werke, so könnte einem etwa einfallen, wie ein Verwachsener einmal in der Kirche war und eine Predigt angehört hat, wo der Prediger in einer äußeren phrasenhaften Weise seiner Gemeinde auseinandersetzte, wie alles in der Welt gut und schön und zweckmäßig ist. Der Verwachsene wartete an der Kirchentüre, und als der Prediger herausging, fragte er ihn: Sie haben gesagt, alles ist auf der Welt seiner Idee nach gut, bin ich auch gut gewachsen? Da sagte der Pfarrer: Für einen Verwachsenen bist du sehr gut gewachsen! Nun ja, nicht wahr, wenn man in dieser Weise äußerlich die Dinge betrachtet, dann wird man nicht in die Tiefen dringen. Unsere heutige Betrachtungsweise nämlich geht auf unzähligen Gebieten in so äußerlicher Weise vor. Die Menschen füllen sich heute ganz an mit solchen äußerlichen Charakteristiken, namentlich mit so äußerlichen Definitionen, wissen gar nicht, wie sie sich im Kreise mit ihren Ideen herumdrehen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":323,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-06-09/p021"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-06-09/p027","GA 276/1923-06-09/p028"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":323,"en_words":234,"ratio":0.72,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.74,"band":"short","note":"This witness is materially shorter than the original (below 75%).
