"You astonish me with such a metaphysics of genius," said the teacher's companion, "and I have only a hazy conception of the accuracy of your similitude. YOU ASTONISH ME WITH SUCH METAPHYSICS OF GENIUS SAID THE TEACHER'S COMPANION AND I HAVE ONLY A HAZY CONCEPTION OF THE ACCURACY OF YOUR SIMILITUDE
f the people in respect to genius: its real origin is not to be found in such education; it has, so to speak, only a metaphysical source, a metaphysical home. But for the genius to make his appearance; for him to emerge from among the people; to portray the reflected picture, as it were, the dazzling brilliancy of the peculiar colours of this people; to depict the noble destiny of a people in the similitude of an individual in a work which will last for all time, thereby making his nation itself eternal, and redeeming it from the ever-shifting element of transient things: all this is possible for the genius only when he has been brought up and come to maturity in the tender care of the culture of a people; whilst, on the other hand, without this sheltering home, the genius will not, generally speaking, be able to rise to the height of his eternal flight, but will at an early moment, like a stranger weather-driven upon a bleak, snow-covered desert, slink away from the inhospitable land. LITY OF THE TRUE EDUCATION OF THE PEOPLE IN RESPECT TO GENIUS ITS REAL ORIGIN IS NOT TO BE FOUND IN SUCH EDUCATION IT HAS SO TO SPEAK ONLY A METAPHYSICAL SOURCE A METAPHYSICAL HOME BUT FOR THE GENIUS TO MAKE HIS APPEARANCE FOR HIM TO EMERGE FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE TO BETRAY THE REFLECTED PICTURE AS IT WERE THE DAZZLING BRILLIANCY OF THE PECULIAR COLOURS OF HIS PEOPLE TO DEPICT THE NOBLE DESTINY OF A PEOPLE IN THE SIMILITUDE OF AN INDIVIDUAL IN A WORK WHICH WILL LAST FOR ALL TIME THEREBY MAKING HIS NATION ITSELF ETERNAL AND REDEEMING IT FROM THE EVER SHIFTING ELEMENT OF TRANSIENT THINGS ALL THIS IS POSSIBLE FOR THE GENIUS ONLY WHEN HE HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP AND COME TO MATURITY IN THE TENDER CARE OF THE CULTURE OF A PEOPLE WHILST ON THE OTHER HAND WITHOUT THE SHELTERING HOME THE GENIUS WILL NOT GENERALLY SPEAKING BE ABLE TO RISE TO THE HEIGHT OF HIS ETERNAL FLIGHT BUT WILL AT AN EARLY MOMENT LIKE A STRANGER WEATHER DRIVEN UPON A BLEAK SNOW COVERED DESERT SLINK AWAY FROM THE INHOSPITABLE LAND
