Record: listeners' notes. This text is a newspaper's or a listener's report of the lecture, not a transcript. The wording is the reporter's: do not quote it as Steiner's own words. Evidence: «Based on notes by Rudolf Steiner, Marie Steiner, Erna van Deventer, Annemarie Dubach, Alice Fels, Tatiana Kisseleff, Lory Maier-Smits, Mieta Waller, Unknown (the note to the Apollonian course, GA 277a of 18 August 1915)». The unit's own header line in the edition served.

> Nikolaus Lenau: “Himmelstrauer” (Heavenly Sorrow) > A thought wanders across the face of heaven, > The gloomy cloud there so fearful, so heavy; > Like the sick soul on its bed, > The bush tosses back and forth in the wind. > A melancholy rumbling sounds from the sky > The dark eyelashes blink many times, > — Soblinzen eyes, when they want to cry, — > And a faint ray flickers from the eyelash.— > Now cool showers creep out of the moor > And quiet fog over the heath; > The sky, pondering its sorrow, > The sun casually fall from its hand.
