IT IS PAINFUL TO SEE HOW AWKWARDLY AND HEAVILY ONE FOOT IS SET BEFORE THE OTHER AND ONE DREADS THAT ONE MAY NOT ONLY BE UNABLE TO LEARN THE NEW WAY OF WALKING BUT THAT ONE WILL FORGET HOW TO WALK AT ALL
 questions and scruples, such, for instance, as whether Auerbach and Gutzkow are really poets, for his disgust at both will be so great that he will be unable to read them any longer, and thus the problem will be solved for him. Let no one imagine that it is an easy matter to develop this feeling to the extent necessary in order to have this physical loathing; but let no one hope to reach sound æsthetic judgments along any other road than the thorny one of language, and by this I do not mean philological research, but self-discipline in one's mother-tongue. "Everybody who is in earnest in this matter will have the same sort of experience as the recruit in the army who is compelled to learn walking after having walked almost all his life as a dilettante or empiricist. It is a hard time: one almost fears that the tendons are going to snap and one ceases to hope that the artificial and consciously acquired movements and positions of the feet will ever be carried out with ease and comfort.
