How we hardly see the environment that emerges in the German Siegfried. And how we see how that which has been brought into Germanism from the power of the folk soul, in a certain time, seizing everything as a folk soul, has found expression in the Siegfried saga. Then this soul recovers, makes an inhalation – in contrast to the exhalation in Siegfried – in order to make a new exhalation in the twelfth or thirteenth century, a new approach, and to bring forth from itself the character opposite to Siegfried, the Parzival character. And one need only compare these two characters, who really arose from the innermost being and weaving of the German folk soul, one need only compare these two polar opposites, Siegfried and Parzival, and one will see the breadth of the German folk soul and the possibilities for development that are expressed in the path that this development has taken, from Siegfried, whose already lost song was rediscovered and written down at the time when Wolfram von Eschenbach was writing his Parzival. Yes, the German national soul goes through what it can only go through over a long period of time because of its breadth. This is the significance of its development. This is what we can still recognize today as infinitely broad possibilities in the development of the German national soul, if we look at this German national soul in the right way. But what takes hold of it, takes hold of it with a certain strength because it takes hold of it comprehensively, because it takes hold of it with the harmony of all soul forces.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Wie sehen wir kaum angedeutet in der Umgebung dasjenige, was in dem deutschen Siegfried zutage tritt. Und wie sehen wir, wie das, was aus der Volksseelenkraft hereingekraftet ist in das Deutschtum, in einer bestimmten Zeit alles als Volksseele ergreifend, in der Siegfriedssage zum Ausdruck gekommen ist. Dann erholt sich diese Seele, macht — gegenüber der Ausatmung im Siegfried — eine Einatmung, um im zwölften, dreizehnten Jahrhundert eine neue Ausatmung zu machen, einen neuen Ansatz, und den dem Siegfried entgegengesetzten Charakter aus sich hervorzubringen, den Parzival-Charakter. Und man braucht nur gegeneinanderzustellen diese beiden Charaktere, die wirklich aus dem innersten Wesen und Weben des deutschen Volksseelenwesens heraus entstanden sind, man braucht nur diese beiden polarischen Gegensätze nebeneinanderzustellen, Siegfried und Parzival, und man wird die Weite der deutschen Volksseele und die Entwickelungsmöglichkeit erblicken, die sich ausspricht in dem Gang, den diese Entwickelung gemacht hat von dem Siegfried, dessen schon verschollenes Lied man wieder aufgefunden und niedergeschrieben hat in der Zeit, als Wolfram von Eschenbach seinen Parzival gedichtet hat. Ja, diese deutsche Volksseele durchläuft in langer Zeit dasjenige, was sie nur in langer Zeit durchlaufen kann wegen ihrer Weite. Darin ist das Bedeutsame ihrer Entwickelung ausgedrückt. Darin liegt dasjenige, was wir auch heute noch als unendlich breite Möglichkeiten in der Entwickelung der deutschen Volksseele erkennen können, wenn wir diese deutsche Volksseele in der richtigen Weise anschauen.
