>‘One day when I called on him I found him burning with passion for Hegel’s Phenomenology, which he was just studying, and which, he told me with typical extravagance, was the best book ever printed. To prove it he read me a passage which had particularly impressed him. Since I did not entirely follow it, I asked him to read it again, upon which neither of us could understand it. He read it athird time and a fourth, until in the end we both looked at one another and burst out laughing. And that was the end of phenomenology’
Hegel-hacks BTFO'd yet again.

This is a Wagner thread now.

that Shakespeare was German?

>Yet Bach's spirit, the German spirit, stepped forth from the sanctuary of divinest Music, the place of its new-birth. When Goethe's "Götz" appeared, its joyous cry went up: "That's German!" And, beholding his likeness, the German also knew to shew himself, to shew the world, what Shakespeare is, whom his own people did not understand. These deeds the German spirit brought forth of itself, from its inmost longing to grow conscious of itself. And this consciousness told it—what it was the first to publish to the world—that the Beautiful and Noble came not into the world for sake of profit, nay, not for sake of even fame and recognition. And everything done in the sense of this teaching is "deutsch"; and therefore is the German great; and only what is done in that sense, can lead Germany to greatness.

Thankfully I am not of Jewish descent so I don't have to choose one of those. Beauty matters most and is reserved for the few elect.
