The doing evil to avoid an evil
Cannot be good.
Wallenstein (1800)
Often do the spirits
Of great events stride on before the events,
And in to-day already walks to-morrow.
Wallenstein (1800)
Clothing the palpable and the familiar
With golden exhalations of the dawn.
Wallenstein (1800)
But still the heart doth need a language, still
Doth the old instinct bring back the old names
Wallenstein (1800)
The intelligible forms of ancient poets,
The fair humanities of old religion,
The Power, the Beauty, and the Majesty
That had their haunts in dale, or piny mountain,
Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring,
Or chasms and wat'ry depths; all these have vanished.
They live no longer in the faith of reason!
Wallenstein (1800)
