And not those men alone! Indictments are pouring forth against you from every intellectual province: whether I look at the talents of our poets, philosophers, painters, or sculptors  and not only in the case of gifts of the highest order  I everywhere see immaturity, overstrained nerves, or prematurely exhausted energies, abilities wasted and nipped in the bud; I everywhere feel that 'resistance of the stupid world,' in other words, _your_ guiltiness. AND NOT THOSE MEN ALONE INDICTMENTS ARE POURING FORTH AGAINST YOU FROM EVERY INTELLECTUAL PROVINCE WHETHER I LOOK AT THE TALENTS OF OUR POETS PHILOSOPHERS PAINTERS OR SCULPTORS AND NOT ONLY IN THE CASE OF GIFS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER I EVERYWHERE SEE IMMATURITY OVERSTRAINED NERVES OR PREMATURELY EXHAUSTED ENERGIES ABILITIES WASTED AND NIPPED IN THE BUD I EVERYWHERE FEEL THAT RESISTANCE OF THE STUPID WORLD IN OTHER WORDS YOUR GUILTINESS
ll ever be helped in future? For each of them, however, up to this very moment, you have always been the 'resistance of the stupid world' that Goethe speaks of in his "Epilogue to the Bell"; towards each of them you acted the part of apathetic dullards or jealous narrow-hearts or malignant egotists. In spite of you they created their immortal works, against you they directed their attacks, and thanks to you they died so prematurely, their tasks only half accomplished, blunted and dulled and shattered in the battle. Who can tell to what these heroic men were destined to attain if only that true German spirit had gathered them together within the protecting walls of a powerful institution?--that spirit which, without the help of some such institution, drags out an isolated, debased, and degraded existence. All those great men were utterly ruined; and it is only an insane belief in the Hegelian 'reasonableness of all happenings' which would absolve you of any responsibility in the matter. ORY THAT NONE OF THEM SHALL EVER BE HELPED IN THE FUTURE FOR EACH OF THEM HOWEVER UP TO THIS VERY MOMENT YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE RESISTANCE OF THE STUPID WORLD THAT GERTA SPEAKS OF IN HIS EPILOGUE TO THE BELL TOWARDS EACH OF THEM YOU ACT THE PART OF APATHETIC DULLARDS OR JEALOUS NARROW HEARTS OR MALIGNANT EGOTISTS IN SPITE OF YOU THEY CREATED THEIR IMMORTAL WORKS AGAINST YOU THEY DIRECTED THEIR ATTACKS AND THANKS TO YOU THEY DIED SO PREMATURELY THEIR TASKS ONLY HALF ACCOMPLISHED BLUNTED AND DULLED AND SHATTERED IN THE BATTLE WHO CAN TELL TO WHAT THESE HEROIC MEN WERE DESTINED TO ATTAIN IF ONLY THAT TRUE GERMAN SPIRIT HAD GATHERED THEM TOGETHER WITHIN THE PROTECTING WALLS OF A POWERFUL INSTITUTION THAT SPIRIT WHICH WITHOUT THE HELP OF SOME SUCH INSTITUTION DRAGS OUT AN ISOLATED DEBASED AND DEGRADED EXISTENCE ALL THOSE GREAT MEN WERE UTTERLY RUINED AND IT IS ONLY AN INSANE BELIEF IN THE HEGALIAN REASONABLENESS OF ALL HAPPENINGS WHICH WOULD ABSOLVE YOU OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MANNER
