Dissertation:
Schleiermacher's
Early Development as Ethical Thinker.
" As there is no objective knowing
without subjective knowing, so too there
is no presentation, and presentation
must reveal itself as poetry in language,
both in its plastic element,
the word, and in its musical element, rhythm.
Likewise, the form of poetry
in its highest developments is dialogue."

1805-1806

"But
both in the intellect and
in the will reason stands forth
as the loud
sound of the soul, which makes known
every work of God or Man. For sound
carries words on high, as the wind
lifts the
eagle so that it can fly. Thus the
soul utters
the sound of reason in the hearing
and the
understanding of humanity, that
its powers
may be understood and its every
work brought
to perfection..."
Hildegard of Bingen Scivias #23
