When von Eschenbach describes in a serious manner a duchess coming toward a gentleman, he says, Her appearance penetrated his eye and entered his heart, *wie eine Nieswurz durch die Nase* ‘like a sneezewort through the nose’. This is a vivid metaphor, for the scent of sneezewort penetrates one’s nose in a very lively way, one could even say *ruchbar* ‘smellable’ (see lecture 2, page 30), but we would certainly not use the phrase today. It shows how the world of feeling has changed, and this change in the world of feeling must be studied in order to get at the science of language in a nonmaterialistic way.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Language and the Sense for Reality or Its Lack","site_heading":null,"date":"1920-01-02","location":null,"word_count":152,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/299/1920-01-02/p005","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch","identified_edition":"AP1995","book_title":"The Genius of Language","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA299/English/AP1995/19200102d01.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.
