The Spiritual-Scientific Basis of Goethes Work
> Mephistopheles: > Sink then! Arise! This also I might say:— > ‘Tis all the same. Escaping from the real, > Seek thou the boundless realm of the ideal. > Delight thyself in forms long past away! > The train-like cloud-procession, glides along: > ... > A glowing tripod teaches thee thou hast > The deep attained, the lowest deep, at last; > There by its light the Mothers thou wilt see; > Some sit, while others, as the case may be, > Or stand, or walk: formation, transformation > Of mind etern, eternal recreation! > While forms of being around them hover.
