What man prints as a form deriving from his soul on the matter of this earth Round is eternal, it will not pass away. Even though the matter thus given form outwardly decays, what the Royal Art has given form to, in pyramids, temples and churches, is imperishable. What the human spirit has given shape to, in matter, will remain present in the world as a continuing force. That is completely clear to those who are initiated in such matters. Cologne's Gothic cathedral will, for example, pass away; but it is of far reaching significance that the atoms were once in this form. This form itself is the imperishable thing that will henceforth participate in the ongoing evolutionary process of humanity, just as the living force that is in the plant participates in the evolution of Nature! The painter, who paints a picture today, who prints dead matter with his soul's blood, is also creating something which will sooner or later be disposed in thousands of atoms. What has imperishable and continuing value, what is eternal, is that he has *created*, that something from his soul has flowed into matter.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"20.

Wenn auch äußerlich der geformte Stoff zerfällt, unvergänglich ist dasjenige, was die königliche Kunst seit uralten Zeiten in Pyramiden, Tempeln und Kirchen geformt hat. Was der Menschengeist im Stoff geformt hat, das bleibt als fortwirkende Kraft in der Welt vorhanden. Das wird dem vollständig klar, der in solche Dinge eingeweiht wird. Der gotische Dom von Köln zum Beispiel vergeht; daß aber die Atome einmal in dieser Form da waren, ist von weittragender Bedeutung. Diese Form selbst ist das Unvergängliche, das fortan im Fortentwickelungsgange der Menschheit so mitwirkt wie die lebendige Kraft, die in der Pflanze ist, im Fortentwickelungsgang der Natur! Der Maler, der heute ein Bild malt, der sein Seelenblut in den toten Stoff hineinprägt, er schafft auch etwas, was in mehr oder weniger kurzer Zeit in tausend Atome zerstoben sein wird.
