Friedrich Schiller Quotes

The intelligible forms of ancient poets,The fair humanities of old religion,The power, the beauty, and the majestyThat had their haunts in dale or piny mountain,Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring,Or chasms and watery depths, - all these have vanished;They live no longer in the faith of reason.
