III. Why the Desire for Knowledge is Fundamental

GA 4/l03/p001 · GPP1916 LowLow alignmentMost translators re-paragraphed Steiner substantially. The locus identifies the same chapter or section, but paragraph-N to paragraph-N mapping is loose. For exact-quotation precision, compare with the German.

> Two souls, alas! reside within my breast, > And each withdraws from, and repels, its brother. > One with tenacious organs holds in love > And clinging lust the world in its embraces; > The other strongly sweeps, this dust above, > Into the high ancestral spaces. > — Faust, I, Scene 2. (tr. Bayard Taylor)
